Anyone who has taken an interested in having an A-line type unit restored by a craftsman should take a close look at Howard Mills.
Yesterday, I went to Harper's Ferry to meet the man in person. Folks, I was impressed. I have seen several examples of his work and they are ALL premium grade, in fit and finish. I spied an example of a restored 75A-2. It makes my humble attempt at restoring a 75A-2 look sick.
He has even performed non-Collins restorations. An immaculate SP-600JX-14 awaits its lucky owner's return.
IMHO, I don't think you'd be steered wrong in considering Howard for all your refinishing needs. I'm not an owner or anything of that nature. I do have an eye for superbly restored equipment and Howard's work stands tall among the restorers of Collins equipment.
