I think you mean the flat "bar" that you grip to change channels. I'm not sure what exactly Philce used on the Predicta metal parts to give them a brass look. If it's real brass plate, it's really thin. I've seen some guys have the CRT tubular arms and base commercially replated and they look awesome, but that's expensive.

I've been thinking about giving gold tinted lacquer a try. The trick is going to be getting the base metal polished and very clean. Any contamination like fingerprints is going to show or cause it to not adhere well.
