Gary DuttonHoward series 2 restoration
Hi all,
Here the latest restoration project that I recently undertook.
It is a series 2 Howard 17 jewel bridge model.
When I purchased it it arrived with a broken staff,missing barrel bush and after stripping it down a broken 4th wheel pinion.
I got a parts movement of ebay and I had a donor 4th wheel from of all things a series 3 Howard.
(straight swap)photos to follow.
Cheers
Gary

Tom BrownNice job Gary!
I have always liked those Howard dials with the minute markers turned that direction. I would make it a keeper too!
