Cracked and Chipped AE34 Restored

[RDPipes]

Well, I was lucky enough to find another AE34 but, it had a good size crack from the dial to the base and the switch hook had half the little mound it protrudes through chipped off. I still thought it was worth the $45 I paid for it and remembering what CJ had done a few times with a little Black Milliput I decided go ahead with it.
No fancy technique's here just super glued the crack with the thin stuff, sanded smooth then wet sanded 400 to 2000. The chip was going to be more of a pain so I left it till last. Again, nothing fancy here just mixed up some Black Milliput and started rolling it out in a little snake and started applying it to it, then with a little water on my index smooth and sculpted it as good as I could. Once dry I sanded it to shape and also wet sanded through 4 grits again and buffed it as I did the rest of the phone after sanding it thru 4 grits first. I think it came out pretty dadburn good and unlike the first AE34, this one I had no problem wiring to work. First two photos are the before showing the damages.

Nice work! Looks great. Gary Goff sells repro gaskets for that phone. I used a couple in the past. They fit fine & look good.

Thank you Harry, and I was thinking about getting a couple gaskets from him, I think my other 34 or 40 needs one too.
