A Teutonic approach to cleaning the pivot area
- Grab razor.
- Gently remove pin, breaking scales in process.
- Swear blasphemously.
- Clean pivot area
- Start looking for spare scales.
Anyone got a spare set of scales for a Pauls Brothers "Echo" 5/8 French point?

I feel your pain. I'm very familiar with steps 1-4. Especially those wonderfully thin and brittle black bakelite scales. Oh how I love steps 1-4. Did I mention that even though I like the look of them, I hate bakelite scales for that reason?

Ahhhh...so that explains it. Must have been my German blood coming out in me! Though with the swearing, I would have sworn it was the Irish.

My Irish half thought it was funny! Sad to say I too thought I could pick up a few pointers to help DH w/restoration. We haven't taken any apart just yet and I thought I may learn something, and I did. Braking scales happens to the best of us. Originally Posted by VeeDubb65
