6Stelab9 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Thank you Brian. I wonder if the seller is the first owner. May be one Strenco will come in my value range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalRobotHead Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 This must be one of the best that has appeared recently, the description says "lacquered in silver" perhaps just the wording as I have always thought it was a simple spray paint job which accounted for the often poor condition.

Of course in unperfect condition (obviously it has been partly repainted and I don't think the antenna is geniune) but it was in my price and my condition ranges for my unperfect collection. I'm happy to have one I can admire on my shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.. Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 I'm not a fan of repainting but in this case there wouldn't be much harm done if you stripped the top section and did a respray. There's something about the paint they used that often makes original Strencos look as though they have been repainted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian It's interesting. Have you got more informations about that? Could the paint on mine result from a bad quality paint or poor paint application when it was first done? I would think the paint was done once to hide surface rust but I'd like to have more opinions about it. some close up views: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Hard to tell if it's crudely brush painted (most likely) or if the paint has deteriorated. I just know that I've see many Strenco robots that looked like repaints but which, in all probability, were original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6Stelab9 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Thank you Brian. I think we can see paintbrush traces in front and some paint on the top of the chromed part. I wonder how it was factory painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
