here is an update shot of the bed in process of getting painted. Note the yellow tracing paper, this helped tremendously. The two corners that are visible have been painted.
The plan is to paint them all, do a LIGHT sand, do any touch-ups needed, polishing compound, then clearcoat.

Here is the first try at cutting out a new take up arm. After cutting this one out I realized it was 1/8" short and that the end needed to be wider. I chose brass to keep with the theme of replacements are brass, like the slides that I made.
