OK, Okay!

Rather than building one big thread for my restoration, I'm breaking into sections/phases. P1 ,P2 etc. I hoped at some point to summarize these threads into one. I just haven't figured how to search for my "P" threads.

Maybe I should have let the speculation go longer. But then someone would have started playing Beatles albums backwards.......
