How do I say this delicately to everyone..friends, members, fellow mods? As a craftsman artist and presevationist ,the only person I have ever consulted with about advice on "whether or not to redo it" is my client who is willing and able to pay for it. Granted I make my meager living bowing to the wishes of my patrons but channeling permission to restore a precious piece of history through a third party is pompous on the 3rd party's part. Quite frankly, it is no one's business but mine. I don't need any 3rd party advice and I am willing to bet, neither does Ted.
