<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 391577, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> At least they are easy to take apart and repaint after sanding. The feet have lots of places to find replacements if you do not want to sand them and re gild them. Soak the innards over night in kerosene, the dirt should slide off. Or you can find someone to do the work for you, probably run a 100 bucks for so. I used to do a lot of them. I would buy them for 20 to 25 dollars and resell them for 200 to 300. As Drew stated they are very common and usually just need a good cleaning to make them serviceable.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
