DCM finish

Post by jwilli »

I thought that I'd post a few pics of the ever elusive DCM finish up close. I didn't even realize that there were "sparkles" in the finish until some bright sunlight shone on my newly acquired 330 DCM (thanks John Pollard!).

I can faintly see the sparkles, John. But are you sure those aren't tiny dust particles? :D


Sparkles or not, a fine looking DCM.

Very nice, John! I had oven knobs on mine, too (but not in this photo, for some reason):

Couldn't be that lucky, Greg! In fact I'm in the process of selling 3 or 4 of my Ricks and a few other goodies to fund my next trip......... :cry:
