Beautiful 1870s, Scales Restoration, Vintage Restoration 

I have had these scales for a few weeks now and i was getting eager to start this restoration. When i found these Salter Scales they where just lying under a table as seen in the opening scene, They were very tired looking and missing the bowl which i found on a return visit to the Reclamation a few weeks later. This is my first attempt at restoring some scales and until removing the front cover i had no idea how they worked other than they had springs inside. This project has taken me alot longer than anticiapted which is partly due to the time wasted on removing Rust and screws which had to be drilled out and re tapped. I Have a small 1940s object currently soaking in my new rust remover so hopefully this will save some time.

This is a hobby for me which I enjoy doing in my spare time. I am not a professional restorer, Painter or fabricator and I know some of my techniques may not be upto the standards of some professionals on here. Having said that if you think you know a better way to complete these works I would be happy to listen,
I will learn from each project to bring you not only a nicer finished piece but also a cleaner piece of editing.
Please leave your comments below and ill do my best to reply to them.
Kind Regards Unique Restorations
