New Parker Project

[Phillip Carr]

Found a new Parker Project I just could not pass up. $14.99 on Ebay buy it now. Original finish, Tight fit, no pitting, operates like new. Took a little disasembly and clean up. Wire brush, steel wool, hot water and some Alcohol did wonders.

Coffee ground to a velvet texture. Amazed at how well it worked.
It will get a coat of wax on the wood tonight. Then back to "The Grind"

What type of alcohol?

[Phillip Carr]

Scotc...... oh you mean to clean with. My favorite alcohol to clean parts with is Everclear 192 proof. Just need to be very careful on the finish.

So you bought that... I had that on my watch list and when I sent to buy it, it was closed. It looked like a nice buy.

[Phillip Carr]

Yes, it was actually better than I expected. Pretty simple design. By removing the bottom of the grinder you have acess to the only two screws you can not reach otherwise. Allows for a very good cleaning.

That's a good buy for a Parker box grinder.

AHH, the coffee was great, actual got out of bed and made the coffee this morning. Delicious! My wife said wow, what a surprise. While I was enjoying the moment she had to spoil it by asking if Parker ever made vacuum cleaners.
