Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian - Project

[David Dunlop]

It turned out to be such a nice sunny, warm, calm day this afternoon; I could not let it go to waste. I stripped down all the varnished, chipped paint from these two KNOBS for the Sender and primed them out on the driveway.

They should be cured in a couple of days, and it is supposed to still be nice weather then, so they can then get a final coat of Gloss Navy Grey.

These KNOBS must have been refinished during the sets 1966 Workshop Overhaul. No primer was used. The core metal is cast brass with zinc plating. You could actually put pressure on the stem of each item with a thumb and finger and twist the paint off the KNOBS. I could not see any primer of any colour on the inside of the paint chips.
