Ron can fix anything! :D

 

Check out the before and after photos of this rusty Oscillator I picked up on the cheap!

I bought this expecting it not to work, in fact we were going to sacrifice the tuning fork to determine what material it was composed of, but as usual Ron found a way to get it working again and back from the dead, so we're restoring it. I had 1 Rally Clock that was missing it's original Oscillator (I had an after market 1 ready for it) but figured I'd make it complete and original again.

 

As always happens you don't find rare stuff in isolation, but I found another rusty Oscillator not long after this 1. Which will also need restoring...

Very impressive indeed.

 

Nice to see some true trade skills are still around in these days of cheap mass produced (and disposable) goods.

 

Cheers
