i have two 124 mkII s coming back to life.
One is in very good condition and awaits a new plinth and armboard, will keep its 3012.
The other I inherited, and have fond memories of using it since i was 10 (almost 50 now).
I am astounded that oxidation has lifted off the grey paint. This is worst at the cantilevered support for the armboard, but is really quite extensive.
Its not something that can be ignored cause it is awful white powdery stuff!
It needs a full strip and a new paintjob.
It will sit in a nice wooden plinth and will take a Graham 1.5(black and brass)
What colour should i paint it?
Is it crazy to consider anything other than the original grey?
