Thanks for clearing up those points Pete - so it is an authentic full restoration. I have trouble believing it looked that good when it was new.

Of course we hope you'll keep us posted on your Kirby-Lauson restoration if you go ahead with it. We don't have much in the way of Kirby-Lauson threads, so it would be a valuable addition to the archives. Up to now we've had an assortment of questions on them, but not so many answers.

I'll wait a couple of days in case of questions and comments, then close this thread
for the archives.

Again, well done. I'm glad you benefited from doing it - we all benefit from seeing it.
