finally got off my duff and got some citric acid ordered. its first victim was my January 1928 Coleman quicklite 427.
not too filthy but sure can use a scrubbing!
shined up good! filled a 5 gallon bucket with hot tap water and soaked the ever loving rust outta the steel parts and brass in another container. the steel took a good 4 hours of soaking with some 0000 steel wool every hour or so.
the fount was rubbed out with some mothers and 0000 steel wool a while back, and i feel it wont come out anymore. which is fine! because it has 80+ years of beauty marks all over.
all it needs now is a new mica globe from OCP to finish it up.... but for now my cracked testing globe shal do.

thanks sean!
the 228 slant has been dropped on its head i think.... the collar has bent the fount in some. not sure how i want to go about fixing it yet.
and the 220 slant some hack spray painted the cage and bail black. will see how that cleans up.
