Hi guys,

interesting point about the alloy mix. I'd never thought about it. Strangely enough, the first company I approached said that they would do a gold plating, and they had lots of different golds to choose from (various shades/gloss/satin). I'm not sure if they were using actual gold, but I suspect not. They didn't offer brass at all. The guy at the firm I ended up using took one look and offered brass immediately. he wasn't interested in other coatings for me. I also think that the coating is definitely better and thicker than the original, I had a lot of trouble pushing the curved rails back into the side "cups" that sit either side (centre) of the CRT!
