POINTERS, No. 7 ZA 14524
The last little bit of work today was on the POINTERS, No. 7 that fits on the left side of the DIALS, Engraved CMC 115-477.
It just required a slight cleaning and a reapplication of the luminous green paint to its Marker Slot. The heads of the two screws that mount the POINTERS to the front panel of the Sender were quite rusty, so I cleaned and re-plated them. Just 4 more components to finish off for the FREQUENCY MC Flick Drive assembly, and it can get reinstalled. David

POINTERS, Phenolic No. C1 ZA/CAN 4594
The luminous paint in the Marker Slot of this Pointer, which mounts on the right side of the Frequency MC Dial, had pretty much called it quits, so it was cleaned out and a new application of paint added today.
Another part ready for reinstallation now. David

MUELLER CLIPS No. 24A
I found a pair of these for sale a while ago and they arrived this morning. The nice surprise was they were a matched set and NOS. One has the Positive "+" punched into it and the Negative one is blank.
These are the same clips as used on the Wireless Set No. 19 Aerial Dummy Loads, and for the 52-Set, were used as the battery clips for the 12V DC Soldering Iron. I am presently not that pleased with the look of the cable ends of the iron I am presently working on, so that little sub-project will get placed on the back burner, while I give it some more thought.

The Handles No. 72 and 80 now have their final top coat of Gloss Navy Grey applied.
They should be hard cured by next weekend and then the luminous paint detailing for both can be done. David

Bracket And Spring Assemblies No. C1 ZA/CAN 0233
This component, and its mounting screw are the only parts of this assembly that need any touching up.
The bearings were shot in the Slow Motion Drive unit when this 52-Set was found and purchased, but when Jacques Fortin took initial delivery of it for me, he was kind enough to find the problem and rebuilt the bearing assembly. There is a little surface rust on the Bracket and Spring Assemblies, which some '0000' Steel Wool will tidy up nicely. The spring steel has what amounts to a factory blacking done to it. Back in the 1970's when I first started restoring my Mk III 19-Set, I discovered that several coats of a good Gun Blue will darken down the spring steel to a near match to the original blacking. I received a call from our local Cabela's store the Gun Blue I had ordered was in, so went down and picked it up this morning. The mounting screw will get a cleaning and zinc plating. David

Bracket And Spring Assemblies No. C1 ZA/CAN 0233
An interesting discovery this morning.
The Bracket portion of this part is made of brass, with the two steel spring leaves riveted to it with a pair of steel rivets. David

Bracket And Spring Assemblies No. C1 ZA/CAN 0233
I was able to re-plate the mounting screw and lock washer last evening so this assembly is now ready for re-installation on the Sender.
