I picked up a mint WT-19 table a couple weeks back and finally had some time to restore it this past weekend. All hardware were removed and the surface was cleaned. 3 coats of Watco teak oil was applied to both sides to restore that beautiful teak veneer. The hardware was cleaned up with 0000 steel wool to remove minor rusting and the screws were replaced with stainless. The legs were restored by following the WKC aluminum leg restoration guide. Finally, the original metal grill attachment piece wouldn't fit over Zavod's wood handle so I had to improvise. Found a coupe EMT conduit straps at Home Depot that were a perfect fit over wooden handles.  The EMT straps provide a pretty solid and stable way to attach the table to any kettle with a wooden handle. I like the way this restoration turned out and already know this will be a heavily used accessory in my arsenal.
