Bob k's spin top master

[Bob K]

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I could find a replacement bottle basket for my Master Spin Top?  Mine is there, but has some corrosion from taking a 30 year bubble bath.  Still usable, but I don't like the idea of powdercoating something that is in so-so condition to begin with.  I was hoping these were reproduced, but no luck there.

I also need hinges for the lid.  Why hinges would be missing on an otherwise complete machine I have no idea.

Lastly, the slotted brackets that hold the lid open are there, but corroded.

If anyone has or can point me to any of these items, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Bob

ps.  I'm going to use this thread to pose questions as I go along - hope that's ok :'> .

How about a mild acid wash and zinc plating........

Thanks Eric -  I'm not sure how I'll repair the basket.  It's all there but has some weak (corroded) spots where the metal is rather thin between bottle holes.

If anyone owns (or knows of someone that does own) a similar spin top, I could use a good closeup pic of the lid hinges.  Hopefully I can modify a store bought hinge to do the trick once I know what the originals looked like.

Thanks, Bob

tap! tap! tap!...  Is this thing on??  '>

Hear ya' loud and clear. We can even hear you all the way back in the balcony.
I just don't have that machine or baskets, so I am of no help on this one.
