Ok so I just picked up a ft and some screws and a few other parts have some corrosion and I wanted to polish things up plus i plan to restore all my other pins at some point . So I know nothing about these im assuming there are different sizes and different things to use as the abrasive , so anybody have a idea of a good one for pinball parts ? Id like one big enough to do flipper mechs and mabyve some ball guides?
Quoted from waltrr:If you want a really nice finish, don't waste your money on a tumbler. They will NEVER match the finish of mechanical buffing. A simple 6" cotton wheel and some polish does the best job you can hope for. I have 2 tumblers including a Berrys and have always been disappointed. If you're lazy, a tumbler will do just an OK job, but if you want a nice shine, hand buff the parts, you won't be disappointed. Screw heads, balls and all. Plus, the polish seals the surface for the future.
Well dang lol another option ugh
