We just love him - we didn't have to go through the puppy stuff and he is so loving probably because he loves it here!
Nancy[/QUOTE] Nancy, when did you get the new dog? Bring pictures on the 13th, I want to see. Pit bulls are the sweetest dog, so kind and loving, lucky you. Kathie |

Welcome back, Billy. I have a question for you. I haven't seemed to get a definitive answer to and I can't access the pictures on your tutorial. My computer won't open any pre change pics, but that's not the problem. Will kerosene remove the decals on a 1918 machine - a Redeye to be exact? It's not coming clean and I'm getting impatient. I'm thinking from the smell that 'Grandma' kept the machine very close to a oil burning space heater. I'm ready to soak it in kerosene, but will the decals survive? Thank you, Billy, or anyone else who can give me a clear answer on this. Judy

Billy does this mean you are well enough to work on the vintage machines again? Paint them? Run your parts business?

Thank you for the reply. I think I will give the wheelguard a quick soak and see what happens. If I lose any decals, those are small then I'll know if I can use the kerosene on the body of the machine. I assume kerosene will work in cold temps. I really don't want to use anything flammable in the house in this weather. The kitchen is too close to the laundry room with its pilot lights. I used Dawn and more SM oil tonight and I can see a glimmer of decals under the tarry junk.

So I am cleaning this Raymond and under a very rusty yucky area I came across this pic of a beaver and what looks to be a signature.... Did all the Raymonds have signatures? [ATTACH=CONFIG]306305[/ATTACH]
It's a shame she has so much rust.:( Also, does anyone know where I could get a back slide plate(rusted) and decals? |

It's a shame she has so much rust.:( Also, does anyone know where I could get a back slide plate(rusted) and decals? Sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable on Raymond machines but admire the history of the company and the man (except the no alcohol part). The rust from the slide plate can be removed with a wire wheel and varying degrees of steel wool fairly easily. I don't believe there is a Raymond decal set on the market. Perhaps a talented artist can touch up the decals . Good Luck. Jon |
