Welcome to these forums Auplater! I once worked at a Auto Window Tinting shop in Austin that did gold-plating as a "side-biz" on new Car/ Truck mfgrs orig factory-chrome plated "trim pcs". It was a simple process really watching it be done, but the gold-plating machine & the gold (plating powder?) used was quiet a expensive investment if I remember correctly, the machine cost about $4 grand back then? It was about the size of a roll-around battery charger! The new car emblems were carefully removed, laid flat on a small table, and the orig chrome plated surfaces of the the trim pcs were transformed to gold plating in a matter of minutes! Are you set-up to do chrome-plating also? If so, I can do business with you via my vintage radio radios/amplifiers electronics repair shop, and my good friends( great customers!)... that lil' ol' band from Texas,... ZZ Top, who LOVE every pc of vintage "tube-gear" in new ( high quality) vat-type plated CHROME!! The EPA wont allow me to setup a vat where Im located, even out of the local city-limits here! I have used the "Alsa Chrome" products on a few vintage bakelight radio-cabinets with mixed results for these Tx Rock Icons! Can you "chrome-plate" a pair of vintage Levi's? (hee hee)... if so... lemme know! We can do business if your a chrome-plater also? Your doing a great job on your vintage Philco indeed! Keep up the great work!
