Another counter wheel machine question
Posted: Sun May 27, 2012 6:37 amNow that I've pretty much got the mech cleaned up and working properly I've started looking at the wheel itself. Mine is in terrible shape and I would like others opinions as to how to refurbish one.
Actually, I have two wheels off two different machines that need redone.
One wheel appears to have been repainted recently. In the center, they placed what appears to be a vinyl sticker with the filligre art work that is an exact match to the original art work. Trouble is the wheel isn't perfectly flat and there are wrinkles in the vinyl around the edges. Plus it looks tacky. I'm thinking about contacting a printing company to see if this could be done with a silk screening process. The other wheel also needs a total redo, so I'm also thinking about the silk screening. Anyone have other ideas?
