Electro-Plating Pedals
By Damon Atchison

My sustain, soft, and non-functioning decorative third pedal are rusty
and the nickel plating is long gone.  The iron is exposed and they look
awful.  How much does it usually cost for a set of three pedals to be
plated?  How much to have them "dipped"?  I understand these are two
separate processes.  Could somebody explain the differences?

Thanks!

 [ A nice alternative to the traditional nickel-plate finish is
 [ "Electroless zinc".  It's favored for plating metal items
 [ such as wire baskets used in restaurant and hospitals.  It
 [ has a smooth "warm" appearance like nickel plate.  -- Robbie
