The Door and Tilt assembly is the next part of the restoration. As with almost all doors of this era, it is well worn, dirty and needs to have some rusted parts replated ;
You can see the white powder = Surface corrosion on most of the metal parts.
Tilt assembly ;
I will start a new thread on my in house plating setup, but for this thread I'll show the finished plating. This is done on my bench with a plating setup I've been using for around 10 years now.
Even the internal bracket of the coin entrance plate is plated !
Re assembly - Everything except the internal door skin is replated. The internal door skin is cleaned and polished by hand.
Internal is completed ;
The door skin itself is NOT polished - but regrained as per original finish. I do this with a Green Scotchbrite and Windex.
Assembled door ;
The Door is mounted into position ;
