Leave the coindoor in some rust converter overnight, and then give it a polish afterwards with metal polish and see how it comes up before takeing it off to get rechromed.  It may be all it needs and if so, it will save alot of cash.

Also, use a sealable container when you drown the part in rust converter. Make sure you use a bit more than you need because many/all rust converters evaporate (sealable container considerably slows the evaporation) leaveing an oxide coating on your part as it evaporates dry (its often/always hard to get the oxide off too).

The coindoor might polish up nicely with a rag and metal polish if you dont have a machine buff.

Oh, and avoid leaveing anything thats not steel (aluminium comes to mind :angry:) in rust converter just incase.

Does any one out there know for sure what metal is on the Baily midway coin slot. I'm starting to think its polished steel because if I look real close I can see small dents and dings from coins and it looks like the same material all the way through. It also has a slight rough texture to it if one looks close to it. I'm not sure if you can do that with chrome.

NightGod:
The ones on my Gorf cab are polished steel, seems likely that other Midway cabs would be, as well.

Most tokens (including Santoro's) are .984 of an inch, I believe.  You can always go get one from Chuck E. Cheese to test with..
