Beautiful result @Jon. Next time I strip this one I’ll get into the pinions deeper. Although the key I guess is starting with a good one, ie one without a shot barrel bushing. Maybe you can polish some turds but not others. 

Maybe have a go at re-bushing it with some brass. It's not as hard as you think, as long as you have a jewelling tool and bushing brass and broaches, you're good to go

For sure, that’s a skill I want to learn!
