Letters to the Editor continued
Should I use soap and water on the reel pictures or should I
use something special?
When I paint the metal front, what process and paint do you
suggest I use?
I have enclosed some pictures of the machine to help you
identify it. If you know anything else please tell me about it or
tell me where I can find it. Thank you for your time and
attention!
Sincerely,
John Matt

Dear Editor,
Dear Mr. Matt,
We received your letter and pictures ofyour Mills War Eagle.
We'll answer your questions and we willforward the pictures to
Dick Bueschel for further comments.
The mechanism, if it is vey dirty, should be taken apart and
each individual piece glass blasted. Ifit's not too dirty, it can be
immerced in a solvent and then hit with air. If it is rusty, use a
dull aluminum spray finish.
To clean the reel strips use a soapy rag (test a small areafirst)
and then rinse with a moist soft cloth. Dry immediately with a
dry soft cloth.
We suggest that ycu leave the paint as is and just polish the
pay out trays. We feel that some machines are being over
restored. However, ifyou want to paint it, strip it and then use a
zinc chrornate primerfollowed by enamel in the original colors.
To refinish the wooden case strip it; sand it with a fine grade
sandpaper and the apply a good grade oil stain. Thefinal touch
is to hand rub it with linseed oil.
Re: Letters to Editor-August. Tell Dick MacDevilt that I have
