However, the first appearance of such a thing that I am aware of dates

Some years ago I had a few gold-plated phonograph parts re-plated at a
plating place they came out with a different finish from that originally
used. So, you may want to leave your not in best shape parts as they are
rather than having them re-plated with a finish that might not match
Prep is most important, if the part does not look good before it will not look
good after.

You need to show the plater the color you are shooting for but also, I think
they were given a coat of yellow shellac which warms the color up a bit.

What I've seen on newly plated items is not a prep problem. They have
what appears to be a much thinner gold look - like they watered down the
material - not the thick looking plating of the originals.

You've got that right. Any pits/roughness not removed will be plated over
and look pitted or rough, not shiny. The only exception is Copper. Copper
fills in irregularities and can be used to smooth a rough surface. One
plates on the copper and then polishes it to make it shiny and smooth.
I don't think Steve gold plates or does a gold wash. Could be incorrect on
that. Years ago I paid a local circuit board company. Show them what you
want to get the right color or leave it alone. Finding good original parts
just might cost less in the long run. I agree with Jim.

I bought, before the turn of the century, a phono never opened the
boxes! I pulled the black MG horn out of its huge box, last year, and
finally opened the phono's box a couple nights ago. It is an Edison
Standard Model C, with 2/4 kit.The reproducer, crank, gear cover,

Hello Dan, Can you send a photo of the H, I will let you know if it is a repro.
Top and bottom. The Standard C you have, it is an ICS model? Does it have pin
striping or decals? The Standard C is found about 10% as often as the ICS
model. The Standard C is found with pin striping and
You want to find a gold alloy that matches, that is hard. You want to do your
own prep work. I had my Victor VI gold parts plated, all I cared about was
that they looked better and they did. If you are particular then find good
original parts.

If you have pits you want to copper plate and sand until the pits are gone. I
have heard of fillers that you can plate, but no idea how well they work. The
prep work is where the money is. 2000 grit sandpaper for the final.
