There are a stack of clips on youtube on how to do this, and the results are pretty amazing.. --- End quote --- I have a lengthy thread in Arcade Misc regarding this. I don't think it's right for this application, however. Simple handwork will remove the existing rust easily, but won't do anything for the shine. |

I used the dremel on it, but doesn't look great. I think I'm going to have to paint it. Peale do you sell replacements of these? It might be easier just to get a new one. --- End quote --- I'd try some of this stuff in the spray can variety http://www.liquidstainlesssteel.com/products.html Every midway coin return I have come across has been in a similar state. Your right, there is only so much you can do to clean those up with a dremmel and some polish. |

Looks like I'll have to clean it up and spray it. That liquid stainless steel looks interesting. |
