Hi, checking to see how your project panned out. I have a 40-180 I will begin tackling as well and everyone's comments are extremely helpful to me. I have to do some veneer work on the shoulders and the curved front just below the dial. Otherwise the rest is in fair shape once I remove the old laquer. I am interested in how (or what) the laquer was applied (color, etc) and how that process was finished off. Thanks and hope your project went well.
