Spent a bit of time today on the recommissioning of the Gaunt:
I have decide to clear coat the brightwork as the mount will have to cope with being outdoors under her yet-to-be-made covers.
Just the pier to go as far stripping and paint, then just have to recondition all the bolts and washers and put everything back where it belongs.
Then I have to make/find/beg/steal/borrow brass tangent screw slow motion controls and a replacement setting circle for the RA axis.
The last straw will be to dismantle my little Istar 150mm F10 scope and get the counter cell and backplate gold plated to match the brass brightwork
Here are a few progress pictures:
