Ok, so it's 4 years on, and I still haven't made a list but here's a photo of a few (not all of these are rescues):
From the left: A Centuri Astrobee 350, Estes Mars Snooper, Estes Aerobee 300, RDC Cardinal, Estes Alpha III, Estes Alpha and on the far right a Centuri Groove Tube. The CMR Robin and Humpty Dumpty egglofters in back are not rescues, nor are the Estes Constellation and Custom Elite egglofter. The only 2 that I didn't need to do any restoration on are the Astrobee and Groove Tube. I'll post repair details later, but as someone else here mentioned, I don't try to rebuild these into Catalogue showpieces. I like the idea of bringing them back to the 'as built' condition, the way I think they would have looked when originally finished.
