I inherited this gen 6426 from my grandfather after he passed away. He received it from my grandmother for their first wedding anniversary 44 years ago.

I originally thought about fixing the case but I realized that these dings and dents were all made by him so they have extra meaning for me.

That is awesome. Chips and dings are what it is all about.

Thanks, these are the streets around my house, views from the windows. I'm just outside of Paris, France.

Beautiful!!

Thanks ! - not entirely finished yet - a Dremel gave it's life in the pursuit of my perfect 1680 red - and a new Dremel arrives monday to finish those bevels !

Where are you at with you're 5512 build ? - saw you had the dial up for sale.
