Restoration of rusty old scale - finding hidden delights

This small balance scale is from around 1930. It has rusty trays, oxidized metal, and 3 coats of flaking paint. Join me in its restoration to shiny, beautiful, and like-new condition. Along the way, I discover 4 pleasant surprises that make this scale even more interesting and, once restored, more complete. You can watch sand-blasting, metal plating, clear coating, pinstriping, creation of parts, buffing and polishing, and the power of The Child, Grogu.
