Default Take Lots of Photos- Very Sound Advice

Hi All

Tony hit the nail right on the head for the most important step in starting a restoration

"....take LOTS of disassembly photos prior! Even with those, I still have problems.
Mostly because I have the memory of a goldfish.........."

None of us has the memory we wish we had and the pictures are great for that, but I can not count the number of times somebody has asked a question on MLU and somebody pops right back with a photo they already had in their computer.

I would add take lots and lots of photos before you even start work every conceivable angle top side, inside, and underneath. Digital cameras, picture cell phones are great for this, but don't do as one member of our club did keep the photos on your cell phone, you guessed it he lost the cell phone. Store the photos off on a computer, print them out, do something to create a copy.

Being a gold fish isn't all bad I just have to remember which way I swam around the bole yesterday, so I can go the opposite way today and see new stuff.

Cheers Phil
