Those nickle plated parts look awesome, i cant believe how good they look, the kit would be a very good investment for a pinball restorer.

Ian
it is worth it.
but some people don't like the messing around with chemicals or some people just need one or two pieces done so the rest of us who buy them can help the others out.

also the problem with my pin is every piece had corrosion so even though i polished / tumbled the parts it's only a matter of time before the corrode again.

plus when it comes to a lot of the metal posts on top of the playfield they arn't cheap to replace ( when you need to replace 10 or 15 at more than $5 a piece it adds up)

I even stripped all the zinc plating off the parts that came in the flipper kit i bought and nickle coated them. it looked funny with 2 different coloured parts
