    See my previous post regarding the goo and pin condition.
    Thx

    It's a big deal because it looks likely to most of us that those pins have snapped off and the glue is what's now holding them on. It's a pretty badge but you really should remove that goop if you want to get anywhere near what it's worth.

    This is not a true statement.

    If the goo is JB weld doesn't it dry hard as a rock? How would you remove it?

    Yes, JB weld is pretty substantial stuff, but it will sand off (slowly) or easily ground off but the underside surface of the badge is going to suffer at least some damage in the process.

    In retrospect I guess your right & I should have removed the glue. It may not be to everyones liking that it's there, but to each his own.
    I've had several offers since reducing asking $.
    I will take my chances with it, the way it is.
    Cheers

    Not sure that it's something anyone would "like" as it isn't original, and can only be seen as a repair. It may work fine or it may not but, it certainly isn't preferable. GLWS.
