First off this is my first ever post, and my first restoration. I am currently working on a Medico Gold Crest and boy is it a pig. I knew it was going to be dirty but just how dirty I had no clue the top of the bowl was just caked (no pics of that) but I cleaned that the best I could, next I did a retort and 3 attempts and was all tar, so I scrubbed with alcohol dipped pipe cleaners and cleaned the stem. Next I'll do a salt bath for the bowl and oxyclean the stem. Here are some pics of my progress.
