Little bit more progress on this little project today, I managed to get a bit more brass polishing done with the Alt/Az head now looking more presentable.
The brass washers were also polished and all brass was then clear coated.
The bolts were also cleaned of years of corrosion and coated in satin black epoxy. The tube carrier is now ready for some VHT Crinkle Finish.
Next job will be the dismantling and polishing of the brass objective lens cell.
Then the tripod legs and finally the OTA.
Here is a picture of the head after today's efforts.
