    In lock-down, cant help trying to create things. So I made a video.

    A lot of people ask me how I assess a speedmaster so I made this video. I am not a natural you tuber, I cant even get the aspect ratio right.

    But here you are:

    Great video, please make more ! ::love::
    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 ::confused2::

    Thanks.

    This is pure catnip for the newb like me. I greatly enjoy learning from someone who knows more than I do and especially from someone with such a a presence.
    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. :coffee:

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