I bought a 135 mm Hektor (chrome) in mint condition for a bargain price.= There were a few stains on the barrel from the price -sticker. Because mint is of course not good enough I wanted to remove these stains. In fact all stains are gone now but I removed something that appears to be some sort of paint or surface coating on the barrel as well. I used "Isopropylalcohol 70 %" which works without any problem on newer gear as= M4, M5 but seems to ruin the old stuff. Only the part of the barrel with the DOF-markings is affected. PLEASE tell me how to restore this otherwise beautiful lens without spending a fortune for the repair. Thank you!
