Re: Silver plating keys?

I purchased an R-13 in A for a bargain price because the keywork was a mess -- it was rough, sharp in places, and pieces of plating were literally falling off.

Working with a tech, we sent the keys to Anderson Silver plating in Elkhart, Indiana and after a few step process ended up with absolutely beautiful replated keys. The plating itself was not all that expensive, but more was the tech time in removing the old plate and refitting the keys and the recork/repad needed.

Anyway, it took a while a cost a bit, but the keywork is now gorgeous and like new. In the end, I saved a very large amount by taking on the plating project, and I'm thrilled with the results.
