Afternoon All, Due to huge change in circumstance (I'm off to Gibraltar for 4 months to complete my Yachmaster) My 60's runabout, Hi-Fi is up for sale. Made apparently by a small outfit called Skimcraft in/near to Reading. She has always been dry stored inside and as a result exhibits not a trace of...

Hi Nick, Not chromed, just a few hours on the buffing wheel working through the different compounds to get them up to a good level of shine. Then a bit of detail work with black enamel paint, followed by buffing again to get the infill looking just right. What results is something that actually look...

Morning All,

Does anyone happen to have a 60's mercontrol (white or black) that they would be willing to sell.

Unfortunately nothing in that lot, thanks for the link though.
