Reworking chromed knobs

[Charles W. Morehouse]

Hi Brian,
Have cleaned a bunch of them. Usually start by running through the dishwasher. Might have to
put the red dots back. The bright ones, use chrome polish. The brushed ones use soft scrub
and a tooth brush. Have not had  much luck with the pot metal ones.
Tried polishing on cloth wheel with jewelers rouge. They are still dull. By they way, am
still looking for five of the bright 1 1/4 skirted knobs. They can be replated by a plating
co. Luck and 73.
