"Hardcore" and I am selling a set of lugs for that.

I am all set on lugs for it.....and in fact will be selling it eventually. I usually would get it ready and sell as fast as possible, but with this one, I am going to get it put together and play it for a while and enjoy for a while before I do. It does not have the twin strainers, instead has an era appropriate Leedy strainer. I just have to be careful that I don't fall in love with it!

What do you use to polish Nickel plating? (or I might just leave it as is)

and BTW - TC is the man! I wish he would have continued with them longer, but I must admit they did just dine in that category after that (understatement!)

I don't use anything harsh or abrasive, I wouldn't try to technically polish them, the patina nickel plating takes on is pretty nice looking imo.
