I've recently (within the last year) had a fun time cleaning and restoring old reels! This has been my biggest project so far - and was hesitant to post here with all y'all professionals.
I have a video of the restoration https://youtu.be/SjBeSREQQzU and it would be awesome to get some feedback and constructive criticism on tactics and anything I may have done wrong or something I missed.
Here are a couple before and after pictures:

Great job! Hope you don't mind, I added your images to our board since the image hosting services tend to disappear and serve ads in the meantime. You can delete the old links if you want.
Welcome to the forum, your work is appreciated.
