My Attempt at Predicta Restoration

[PredictaNoob]

Eh, I've been thinking about what you said about the arms for most of the evening. I believe I'll hold off on the drilling. Maybe I'll hang onto the arms for my next Predicta.

I was able the replace the antenna using an original mount (with only one remaining antenna section) and a replacement antenna of similar size. I really had to man-handle the mount to get it open so I could remove the ball and single section, and replace it with the donor. It took a bit of sanding and soft scrub to remove the chrome (so the gold plating would 'stick'). The first session of gold plating turned out about 75%. Once we get back home later in the week I'll attack it again and see if I can get more plating to adhere. Its looking really good so far.

Hopefully the resistors will be here too...
