Thanks Morton, it keeps me off the streets !
I haven't graduated to machine polishing yet John, all by hand.
This is not museum quality conservation, as the cell is of unknown parentage I am being a bit harsh with it. The process was 400 grit, 800 grit, 1200 grit hand rubbed then Autosol paste handrubbed followed by car polish, then a thorough wash and assembly.
I wanted to remove some of the sharper machining marks but not completely, they can still be seen in the pics albeit much smoother and less distinct. Time will mellow the colour nicely as there won't be any lacquering.
