Replicas and Restorations of Early Instruments by Richard A. Paselk

Restoration of Vintage Instruments

Vintage instruments and scientific apparatus are often damaged and/or missing bits as a result of their use. I have included a couple of items that I restored to functional and /or display condition. In both cases you will see that the “restorations” have been done in such a way that replacement restored parts are obvious to avoid “counter-fitting” to increase the value of these antiques.
