Another bright sunny morning so another good polishing day.
The last little fiddly bit has now been cleaned around so pretty much straight forward polishing around decals remaining.
At some point in the history of this Sender, somebody grabbed the central HANDLES of the I.P.A. 7-16 MC Dial, with the palm of the hand pressed hard against the dial plate and gave it a hard turn. The result was the Stop Pin on the back side of the innermost Tuning Plate was dug into the panel paint, leaving a noticable semicircle gouge in the paint. this was hidden until the disassembly process, but can be seen in any of the earlier Sender panel photos in this thread.I was able to successfully polish out about 75% of that gouge.
We may be in for another rain day tomorrow, but if that is the case, there is always something else with this project that can be worked on. We will see how it goes.
