Don't think I've ever encountered a severely sun-baked bakelite hood. This could be a one-of-a-kind challenge. A standard recommendation many club members rely on is to try giving it a good rub-down with Brasso. A light sanding with a very fine grit wet sandpaper is another method I've used with success. Normally, Brasso will make bakelite gleam.
Last resort, look for a junk 150 with a good hood. Let us know how you progress. |
