I was able to even out the cleaning a bit today, and with this little bit done with, a quick calculation gives me about 59.65 % of the panel cleaning for the Sender has now been completed.

That finally includes the five riveted STOPS for the three dials, which are a real pain to clean around effectively, and it also gets the upper riveted mounting post for the clear acrylic POINTER located on the right side of the FREQUENCY dial. Just the lower riveted mounting post to deal with now and after that, nice flat panel to work on.

This point in the cleaning also leaves 14 of the 30 decals now cleaned around, so nearly half way through that part of the task as well.

I am going to have to get another tube of polish this weekend. The thick coat of varnish on this Sender panel is really eating through the tube I purchased at the start of this project. By comparison, when I cleaned about 10 19-Set panels back in the 1980's, I still had nearly a third of a tube left.
