Title: Chrome replating
Post by: on October 23, 2002, 06:29:07 pm
does anyone know where to go for chrome replating on soda machine parts thats somewhat affordable? and any suggestions on cleaning up the old parts. the biggest problem is when i restore a machine the dull and old chrome really stands out more when the rest of the machine looks great. also does it pay to re-chrome on such machines as an ideal 55 or a coin bezel for a vendo 81 or 110. where do you draw the line? any suggestions? thanks troy

Troy,

Definately rechrome all parts that require rechroming! Especially if you're restoring the whole machine/cooler.
