that sucks about the gold plating, hopefully you can find another option. but if you had to get the coin toss chromed which i am going to do on mine. i dont think it would look out of place, it would look really good imo

It is going to cost $100 for the coin toss assembly, and there is no guarantee that the inside of the assy will "take" the plating in a uniform finish. The only viable option is to chrome plate the assembly - which would work well and cost $30.

Unless another option pops up - I'm going to polish the coin toss assembly and leave it "As is". MartyJ has TIG repaired the assy - so it will work 100%.

The gold ramp should be ready on Wednesday for pickup. I will post pictures.
