Korona View Camera Restoration Day 2

Unfortunately not much to report. On the day I went up to Dave's workshop It was the morning after a bad rain and wind storm in San Diego and the rain was traveling over to his place (amazing cloud view though). 

Upon arriving it was partly cloudy but stopped raining. I was all worked up to start cleaning the metal and putting the camera back together, then it happened. The Sneezing. The runny eyes. From having a small head cold, and NO immune system and bad allergies to dust and cats, I had a massive allergy attack that just brought my day down upon me. 
What I managed to get done was to clean a little of the brass that was nickel plated (Dave figured that one out, I know nothing of which metal is which) using Lacquer Thinner with some Steel Wool. Made a HUGE difference. So for now, I brought back the pieces with me home to work on it till next time I go up to the work shop.
