Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian - Project

[David Dunlop]

Another small roadblock in restoring the Coil, Aerial Tuning No. 2 A was related to the zinc plating work all the brass hardware was going to need.
The two brass Mounting Plate assemblies are going to be the largest items I have ever had to plate and the small plastic containers I have been using for the acid etch and water rinse removal were nowhere large enough to do the job.

I could find nothing available on hand around the house the right size and on finally mentioning it to Debbie a few days ago, she suggested I check out the local Dollarama Store to see what they might have. Went in the other day and worked my way through the isles and ‘Bingo’! On a shelf marked as Drawer Organizers, I found stacks of 8.5” x 2.5” x 1.5” plastic trays that were perfect for the task and only $1.25 each, so I picked up two one for the acid and the second for the alcohol needed to remove all the water when the acid is rinsed off.

I also picked up an extra bottle of Muriatic Acid, and Isopropyl Alcohol, just in case they are needed.
