[CW] A question on Vibroplexes

[Joseph L. Pontek Sr.]

You might mention the book you took that from. I am guessing you have never
done it yourself. I know the book, myself, and have had conversations with
Bill. The only ones I refinished were, as I wrote, badly damaged. To do 
it properly,
it is not for the lazy or weak of heart. Those numbers quoted are really 
estimates,
but good suggestions about the process. I used long screws in the feet holes
to stand it up, handle it and while it baked in the clear.
