Looking good, MikeB52! :cool:
Semi-slow rainy day here, so I pulled the towel off the pile this morning and this busted front Emperor scale was staring at me. No fixing it, so I wondered if I should just chuck it.

Then....I got an ideer! :idea:
I cut out the middle section and rounded it off, cleaned and polished it up, drilled out the 2 circles on either side.
Applied some silver and gold RubnBuff here and there and fashioned a couple of short nails from some of Baburs pre-peened pins, one brass, one stainless. (Stay with me here!;))
