Re: small scratch on my magico s3mk2
In the United Kingdom we have a polishing compound called Farcela G3 permanent scratch remover. It’s a thick white consistency. I would try a small area to see if it has any effect.

Vitus brought me back to SS.
Was as fed up with the heat, tube quality, bias adjustments and reliability issues.

Re: Atacama or Quadraspire bamboo racks?
