I have had shiny machinery but my heart is with things with 'character' .... one thing I regret is that my 4/4 had 'character' that ran far deeper than a rub with an oily rag and the essential rework has inevitably led to it wnding up shinier than I'd like . . Time and miles will sort that though 🙂
