Where I find examples of the original tin (e.g. the inside of the capacitor can) it is very shiny, almost mirror like. This tin is sort of a satin sheen. Probably something to do with the prep. Perhaps the bead blasting is doing that, That's why I rubbed it out with steel wool before plating. Still, I think it looks more original than the normal situation with most of the the tin oxidized away.
Dealing with the large dog bone resistors in the power supply. As morzh said previously, it seems the large ones go down in value rather than up. There are 4 that I will need to change cuz they have reduced their value by way over 30%. I may play with making molds for these. I can't find an ink pen with that large a diameter to use that method. Or, maybe I'll just consider it a necessary mod and leave the new resistors. They are smaller so they would fit better.
