Baker Monitor L restoration

Thanks to all for your help on my Baker Monitor L project. Here is a pic of her in the 'off' position. I am in need of a L28 section lever, as one of mine is broke where the L69A connecting rod fits into it. Thanks!

Re: Best paint for wooden wheels

Wincatcher, It is complete with the concrete football. I also heard there is a template that can be designed that will help in assembling the fan sections. Any help as to how to make one would be appreciated! Rockingjl, you have a lot of irons in the fire!

Best paint for wooden wheels

I am looking for advice on what paint and primer is best for a wooden windmill wheel. It will be outside in the elements, mainly scorching sunlight since I live in Arizona.... Thanks!
