and immediately crashed back 90% about 5 years ago. It appears to have peaked at over 10 grand U.S. Hi Tony, in case you are planning to buy a lump of it, here is a snippet of an African mining report and a bit on safety. PS> still exploring other less lethal solutions. when I took it apart I discovered that that bottom half of the reflector had been " hurriedly" painted with flat black paint.so only the top half of the reflector actually pushed light out directly under the external hood. plastic tank, DC current and voila!!!!! there goes the family silverware for anodes!!!! or is it cathode?ĪS a point of interest, years ago, I purchased a complete cab 11 headlight with the hooded steel lens cover. I will recruit Grant on the search for the necessary chemicals for silver plating. Since I have a number of tarnished reflectors it sounds like a nice Winter project. Once plated would the reflectors need extensive polishing with a variety of jewelry compounds on a buffer wheel(s). The chemicals for silvering are rather nasty BUT would it be possible to replate them in silver.? what solution would be required? any lest nasty than "silvering". In any event, where the original 1940 era reflectors plated or "silvered"? Mac's old catalogue makes mention of plating but do not indicate silver plating or chrome finish. In the cab 11 Chev/Ford headlights and also the 1942/46 Chev headlights the reflector is tarnished silver on the inside and brass "looking" on the back side. again some form of sealer must be applied to prevent tarnishing. In fancy optical mirrors the silvering is done to the top surface, so as not to have any distortion from the glass thickness. In old antique mirrors the coating starts to deteriorate near the edges. In manufacturing regular mirrors the silvering is done on the back side them it it coated (shellack?) to prevent tarnishing.
