Folks,

This has gone on MORE than enough!

Each and everyone on this AND the other lists dealing with older gear, 
have OUR methods for painting them.

There is NO one way!  The Ham Operators are a VERY mixed lot.

We simply have a HOBBY.  As such we spend our $$$ in the manner that WE 
can afford.

IF you paint for a living - SO BE IT.  The majority DO NOT.

So let us let this die.  Unless SOMEONE wants to start up a NEW List, 
Moderate it, and put the TIME, EFFORT, and ENERGY into it for THIS purpose.

We now return to the "irregular scheduled postings"!
