Quoted from johnwartjr:

While you're plating the coin door, may I suggest the undercab neons, curb feelers and a spoiler on the top of the backbox?
The original legs were a yellow zinc plating, not brass. Unfortunately, nobody does that plating anymore.
I'd like to get my WCS wireform and skill shot replated.

Fully aware of "complete" plating costs...( just finished powdering my IM complete, and TRONLE fully chromed)...I thought this game would look best with just what I did

I know original was gold legs only.....just did this for me, as I thought it would finish off the look. Will be doing the habitrail, apron guard, and skills hot assembly done at some point.

Passing on your other option tips on your other option tips.....just posted as I thought some might enjoy seeing how it turned out.......

The passing of Mike Chesnut last night shook me...RIP Mike. I had been talking back and forth with him for a few weeks about brassing my TOM. He was the absolute best.

Is there anyone who can even come close to brassing the same way he did or should I just scrap the idea for now?

I can't believe he is gone - so sad.

I just heard about Mike's passing a few minutes ago. He was a great guy. Shitty news. RIP Mike.

I just sent a couple habitrails to Mike for brass plating. He received them on Monday. Hopefully, the family will be able to locate my parts and return them. I'm in no big hurry. The family has nore important matters to tend to.

This would have been my first dealing w/ Mike. I was really looking forward to sending him a lot more parts for plating in the future.

Now that he's gone, though, are there other pinsiders who offer plating services?

I've only began talking to Mike directly within in last 2 weeks. He really seemed like a super guy. The pinball community received a BIG loss w/ Mike's passing.

Prayers going out to hid family/friends.

There's a thread from the family and a family member said what to do if you have parts with him.

I'm ready to tear down my Shadow and was going to send him my wireforms.

I've already been in contact w/ Chris.

I was really looking forward to seeing Mike's plating on the wireforms from my Frankenstein.
