I did use a product called Evapo-Rust that I got from Harbor Freight that eats rust and isn't caustic to people. I did not use it around the decals, but soaked everything else after it had a kerosene bath. I love that stuff. There is no rust on this machine, even though some pictures make it look like there is some on the face plate.

Deplay, that would be nice to have just for the cabinet!![/quote]
Buy it. And Jan--great job on the Paveway!! I am constantly amazed at what you all tackle. I wouldn't begin to take on some of the machines you all manage to bring back to life.

Thanks. I would love to have some "like new" machines, but the pocket book won't allow. I do enjoy the refinishing too.
