Those plated parts are not as bad as they look. With Brasso and 0000 Steel wool (or Aluminum foil and water) they will clean up to be bright and shiny. really really
EDIT: I'd buy that from you any time you get tired of it......
Ah, OK. Makes sense on the nickel -- that's true for some manufacturers well into the 1950s, as my recent Adler purchase demonstrates.
I purchased some Brasso several months ago. Misplaced it. Off to the store.
If I get tired or frustrated with it, I'll let you know. I think Macybaby also expressed interest. I may grow to really like it but my interest is in the later machines and industrials.
