As most of us know, there are various degree of decay and age. Some of us (me) buy those with a couple legs in the dumpster full of decay and neglect and restore them while others do minor repairs and regular maintenance for their restore. And everything inbetween.

Nothing wrong with any of it... but honestly I was hoping for some dramatic before then after pics. I love to see pics and read the process of transforming something rotten and worthless to something beautiful and special.

Thanks for your pics of the Giacomo collection. --Sooooo nice! I wonder about the degree of restoration of those machines.
