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!

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi. In the picture not only does it depict that the wheel is bent but also the plate or is that due to th angle of the picture.  Already received very good advise so I will butt out.
