Thanks for the kind recommendations all. There are some pics of my semaphore restos in the Zarwerks Spy Cam thread starting at this page:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1...;start=180
It continues on later pages...
You can see the process I use and the finished resto.
And by the way, Matt and I have an unofficial "non compete" agreement and are good friends. We trade and buy/sell parts often. In fact he found more early stuff for me at Bad Camberg earlier this year then I could have possibly come up with myself.
He does excellent work as well, but he tends to focus on the smooth sems and I only restore the ribbed and grooved ones; although he does do the early ones occasionally as well. I would recommend his work as often as my own.

X6 John Henry. He is a great guy to deal with and does excellent work on the early sems. Check out his handy work on my sems.
