Great video, please make more ! 🥰
As a side note, I don't think the SP couldn't mean special pushers, since in French you'd say "poussoirs spéciaux" which would be abbreviated by PS. Wonder what it means 😕

Thanks.

Great video, sir! I hope there are more to come.

Great video! I am a relative newbie as well but whenever I look to the case finishing and the brushing is missing (in the way the video shows) I just assume that someone had taken a polishing cloth to it at some point. But its all just a guessing game.

Fingerprints on the dust cover like at a murder scene! Classic! SP stands for Spacefruit Perfection!
