I broke down and converted alomost all to Stainless. Got some on the
internet and some out in Winchester Va. Hex head and Allen stuff. Looks
great.

When I was restoring my Eldo few years ago while I was living in Dallas, my fasteners and other parts were Cad plated at a place in Grand Prairie called Texas Metal Refinishers. They did a good job at an inexpensive price. Now I have 2 questions: 1. Is there a place closer to home in the Washington, D.C. area that I could try? 2. Last time, I cleaned every part with a wire wheel on a bench grinder, which was quite time-consuming (and messy). I am not sure whether this would be required or not, since rust and oil might be removed in a bath before the plating. If someone on the list might know something about this, please respond.
