OK...Next project
After the triumph over the Vacuum Tank, I felt like tearing into my
radiator ornament. Result: I think I can have the "winged fellow"
(broken and so-so repaired) recast in bronze and I can manage to get
it nickel plated but what I really, really need is the screw base
that holds it on the radiator. The potmetal ring covering the brass
threaded part has been broken into about 5 pieces and epoxied back on
to the base. If I could find the base with ring in good shape and
either have the man recast or find another one, I would be almost
ecstatic. Does anybody know of a good base anywhere (or even a
complete assembly in good shape)?
Thanks for reading this drivel.
