Finally took the plunge and invested in my first "real" vintage beacon. Prior to this I've really only collected lightbars.
Just a run-of-the-mill 17, but you've got to start somewhere I guess. Wet sanded the dome and tried polishing the base.
Couple questions:
- How do I know if I have an original/correct dome? I know there's a lot of talk about incorrect domes on these things.
- I can't seem to get the shine back on the base, especially around the placard. Can this be polished out or does it need a refinish?
- Any good source on the two gaskets for the base and the dome? Mine is missing both.
