7603(?) Restoration
|
About a year or so ago, I found a website (possibly youtube video) where the guy performed an electric and mechanical restoration on a 7000 series scope (I think it was a 7603 but possibly 7613, 7623, 7633). The scope looked almost brand new and I would like to review that material if possible. Does this sound familiar to anyone here?
Thanks, Barry - N4BUQ |

Maybe you’re talking about Robin Renzetti:

I was thinking he painted the frame but now I see he sanded it down, bead-blasted it, and then applied a clear-coat (Permalac). Very clean look.

If you scroll down from the bezel treatment, he used a pantograph engraver to make button text, filled with epoxy, then filed and polished to look like new gambling dice! Truly fine looking, but I think I'll just look. My scopes don't get quite that perfect... but then, my old sports car is not restored to concours near perfection either... |

Yes. He certainly has some nice equipment to do that work. I wish I could do the same with my pushbuttons. I've seen the other methods but that looks the best by far.

It's better that way- then you can actually use/move/drive them without too much worry.
