Welcome to our Forum. The "Diamond Front" you describe, is what we call a "Genuine Original Find", and a real treasure.
Hopefully your restoration will be as mild as possible, so as not to take away from too much of it's original state. As much
of a purist, as many of us are, I do realize that some machines are beyond saving, but it's sounds to me, like you know the
model well, and will do an excellent job.
You know what my next question is ................. We will all enjoy seeing pics of your finished project. Maybe you can
also grace us with a before shot as well.
