I know how busy you are Daniel, so please there's no rush and yes you are right all of this stuff that looks brass is actually just brass plated.  Mate I'll leave it up to you.  I think the brass plating is actually quite strong, however, if you a get some silver coming through... oh well, there's worse things that can happen in life - don't sweat it :)

From memory, this machine has a small section where the paint lifted from the contact removal. What are your plans to repair that ?

I've never done this before, however, my preferred method is to take a photo of the affected area, repair the damage in Photoshop then print it out on clear waterslide inkjet paper. There are areas on the PF where there is paint fade (yellowing) where there was no mylar and I'm not sure how I'm going to fix that.  Perhaps I'll attempt to use the touch-up painting technique that I saw in Darksoul's Pin-Restoration DVDs.  I really don't know but will need to consider carefully because I don't want to f*ck this up.

I'm pretty sure once the PF restoration is done I will CC it with the methods shown in that Space Shuttle restore.

Thanks for the tip Paul, I might pop into Officeworks today and see if they sell the white stuff.
