I bought this baby from John Weber (one of his garage sale finds), she was completely painted black and pretty rusty and pitted. I got the sole flat and had to round the edges some to eliminate a bunch of pitting. I struipped her completely and recoated with about 10 coats of Krylon High Heat paint #1618.
The iron needs to be replaced as it has too much pitting around the top to be pretty, but she is a user. I got a nice good shaving on some QS oak.
I still need to put a clear coat on the tote and knob, they were black and I just cleaned the clear coat off and hit with some stain. I also need to get a new front tote screw, the one with it was not correct. I have placed a temporary screw in, but it is a fine thread, so I did not tighten. The sole still has some pitting and staining, but I got most of it off.
Plane refurb number 2 in the books.
