Re: Nickel Plating and Rust Removal
Funny you should post that, I've been experimenting with nickel plating guitar parts I'm manufacturing using that video for the last few days, I can testify that it works, the part I'm plating is somewhat larger parts than that set up would usually handle, but it still works, just takes a bit more time

Re: Nickel Plating and Rust Removal
Thanks Curt. I would like to try this on my vv-IX tone arm which is in rough shape.

Re: Nickel Plating and Rust Removal
I have read descriptions of this process before but have never met with such a clear and detailed presentation. Many thanks.
I wish I still had my H.M.V. Intermediate Monarch horn gramophone. The woodwork was good but the tone-arm and back bracket had lost all their plating and looked about as lustrous as an elephant's hide.
