Getting there. Here's what I did last night and a little more this morning:
And the 206K:
The 306K wasn't bad: dirty, grimy, but it's in good shape overall. The 206K was hell. So far, the dirtiest machine I've ever cleaned. Dirt everywhere and in every crevice. The exterior was covered in a substance that flaked off when I scraped it with my thumbnail. I don't want to know what it is/was. I couldn't get all of it off and the decals have been undermined. I used TR3 because I think it needs something to protect it. And lots of kerosene.
I usually get a kick out of transforming a machine from gross to nice but this wasn't enjoyable. I won't be buying really dirty machines again. Not worth my time.
And I haven't even started on the Pfaff.
