Stuart ST Restored
« on: December 15, 2025, 05:39:56 pm »
Years ago I got a Stuart ST in a box complete with instructions including original owners info but well used and in need of a little TLC.  Finally got around to it giving it a coat of high-temp paint, a recess routed into the walnut base for a piece of "welding blanket", and a good general clean up. It runs great on air ( I probably will never fire it up though) and is ready to occupy a space in one of the display cabinets.  Speaking of which I'm just about out of space so have some serious decisions to make on what to keep and what to let go in the future if necessary - not the worst problem to have.
