Cox Engine of The Month
Medallion clean-up

Medallion clean-up
Got this Medallion recently that was supposed to be mint NIB...
Well, turns out the box liner was missing AND someone had scribbled a number on the crankcase

Well, the seller would not refund my money, so I tried to make the best of it. After some careful sanding, first with 400, then 800 grit wet-dry, and some elbow grease with polishing compound I got the crankcase restored. A lot of work but certainly worth it, don't you think! While I was at it, I tossed the wimpy two-slit thick wall cylinder and replaced it with a used but very good step-style #2 cylinder. Here is the end result, enjoy!

I hope you like it. There's no better way to start off the month of April than fixing up a little Medallion!

If you have the original, signed in blood, type written on IBM selectric, notice of limited edition paper....I would be willing to offer you $ 789.99 for that engine case Only.... ( I collect obscure engine cases)
I have tried a few times to etch the proper number to my NOS medallions but need at least one good example

Re: Medallion clean-up
Beautiful work Kari!
You should apply your talents to something more substantial
than a mediocre old Medallion.

Re: Medallion clean-up
Wonder if Jacob would accept this nicely polished Medallion as a payment for a couple of meat raffle tickets
