Looking good! Great story behind it, too. Yes, there can be a magical draw to these once you've played one that's been lovingly restored.
I'll always remember playing an Em at a show (one that I owned at home) and thought, "Holy cow, if this was my first experience with an em I would be running the other way". Unfortunately it wasn't up to speed. I think the older the pins are...70's
-60's then 50's... the harder they are to find playing true. Which makes sense since there are fewer of them around, and generally in rougher shape. Folks just need a chance to see and play a beauty like yours when it's done.
We may want to keep this all on the hush hush though...
