I am about 98% finished with the restoration of this 630TS. After relying so heavily on other members here to basically walk me through a restoration I wanted to go after this one on my own as much as I could.
The original finish on the set was crazed and worn in a few areas so as I do with most of my sets I hauled it off to my restorer for some work. He would rather restore an original finish on a piece than strip and refinish and that fits exactly with my feelings also. I don't know how he does it, but he works magic. He sometimes refers to it as "re-amalgamation", I refer to it as voodoo. I never thought this set would look this good with its original finish.
