These putters are beautiful when restored. If you're a businessman, you can easily put an hours worth of work into a putter and resell it on ebay for 3-4x what you paid.
Sorry to add a word of caution but Ping putters are made from a variety of materials including beryllium copper and manganese copper. You do not want to inhale particles or fumes from either as they are high category carcenogens. Please look that up. Therefore they should not be ground or polished as shown here. Ping were forced to stop using BeCu because of the health risk to their workers. I respect it is personal preference but these putters were never intended to be shiny, Ping actually used a tumble process at the end of the production process to ensure a matt finish that would not glare in the sun. Soaking in coke or similar is as far as I would go and takes the club back to close to factory finish. I actually like the dark patina that develops over years – again a personal thing.

Hey dude, what happened to your Khyber pass build series…I had those vids saved to a playlist and they are no longer availible
Can I purchase one of those soaked and cleaned up club heads from you?
Hey! Can you show me how to do the serrated embellishments on the top of that anser?
I've been considering milling the face on one of my older Anser 2s for more friction on ball contact. Have you tried that?
