First part I have plated for a payphone.  The Gray 3 Coin Slot is two-piece brass construction riveted together (like the 2XX WECo solid back transmitter faceplate) with a chrome finish.  The client removed the coin slot by grinding the ends of the rivets on the inside of the phone.  Chromium was stripped then the old nickel was removed.  Acid copper plating followed by sanding was used to reduce pitting then part was replated with nickel.  The price to do this is $20 plus return shipping.

Those coin gauges are hard to find. Got one in some flea market junk for $3.00.will need to get it replated. I have polished it to bronze for now

That's perfect. Looks like brand new.  I need to gather up all my "stuff" that needs plating and send it in to you.
