This Allcocks pin did have a few problems but all parts where there, i cleaned the reel from dirt, oxide , first with water and soap and after that i used Scotch-Brite pads to remove the oxide, polished the parts with Brasso and fill up the pitting with metal epoxy and when that was dry i sand it by using a wooden stick with a small stroke sanding paper glued on there to make it easier to sand between the pillars
An other reel is saved from the bin i think

A fine job sir, your workmanship has done the reel true credit and what a wonderful invention that metal proxy is, I have used it myself. Certainly now looks like it has come straight out of the box, instead of thirty fathoms down!

very nice Evert!

Superb as always Evert. And thank you for giving us a little insight into how you achieve such beautiful results.

Indeed superb

Good job Evert, and as you say, another reel saved from the bin

I can honestly say that I could not have done better myself!

Wonderful job but tell me evert, what do you do with them when you've finished?

Hard to believe it’s the same reel, a wonderful transformation well done

Fantastic job Evert. Is it for sale now?
