Re: Nickel Plating Restoration

Post by jmreynol »

Just as an update to my original post three years ago. I found a local plater who said he could plate my parts but to my dismay he pretty much ruined the parts. I have a degree in chemistry so thought: what do I have to lose. After doing some research and experimenting I successfully re-plated a number of parts. It was a learning curve but I'm now working on my third machine. The downside is that I am limited to smaller parts so plating a turntable is out of the question.

Thanks
Jim

You need to find someone who will plate in Watts nickel. The plating industry was in it's infancy so that is about all they had at that time.
