Agreed! I won't break a good thing when it's there to enjoy.Don't know what it is about the #100 that I obsess over more than the multitude of other machine shops, probably the simplicity and agelessness. Here are a couple of photo's of a non-painted #100 that I did a clean up on, the machine tools have original paint that I touched up with matching color, polished the line shaft and pulleys, cleaned the plated machine tools parts with a non-abrasive polish and the base with a mineral spirit wipe down, then light sanding to clean only and application of tongoil.
