So I have received the Trench Telescopes/ Rabbit Ears I bought from UK.
As they are ex MOD, they are painted with a green pain.
One set is in NIB condition, with all bits and pieces, so that I will keep in original but the other one is slightly more battered and scuffed, but still fully functional.
That one I plan to remove the paint from and polish.
In some areas I can see it is light coloured brass, in other darker brass or something.
Has anybody removed old (MOD quality) paint from Brass, ( maybe Copper and Aluminium?)
The home use paint removers you can buy, are they ok on these metals?
Any tips and ideas?
Wife managed to buy and old tripod from the US, should come next week.
Hopefully strong enough, those telescopes are heavy!
