What did you end up using to plate the tube shield with?

As you probably already know, gold toned Edison phonograph parts were gold toned only for certain models - some of the more expensive ones - just as they were for Victor Victrolas.

That's nickel...it actually looks alot like the original non-rusted areas. I may overplate with tin after further work, but I want to see how the chasis looks with this finish.

Tin's a bit more of a pain to get to look good... too soft, unless I reflow it... which would make it too brite.
