Thanks, but really, this was just wiping down with a microfiber cloth and oil so far.

Very cool Steve! There's a world of difference between the foot pedal on the machine and the original. I can't wait to see it right.

I gotta confess, that is some SERIOUSLY stubborn crud on those arms.... I am pretty sure this is not going to be one of the "over the weekend I shine it up" jobs..
