Terry,

That picture looks great! I was going to ask YOU what YOU used to remove the clearcoat from the RCA brass trim. On my CTC-4 I'm using paint stripper, but it takes forever, and multiple applications to cut the coating off. I was hoping to find something more aggressive. I was going to then polish it with #0000 steel wool and clear coat it with spray lacquer.

kc,

Thanx for the tip. On these early RCA color sets the trim is real brass. I always use a magnet to test before applying paint remover.

Rob
