[GreenKeys] Model 33 UCC-6 Restoration

[David Tumey via GreenKeys]

Here is another vendor who did some great work for me on my UCC-6 restorations.
The UCC-6's were for all practical purposes - rusted hulks.  I decided to strip them to bare metal, shot-peen the metal with steel #60 steel beads then replate the parts.  At first, I sent the parts out to have them plated with Cadmium @ $500 for 3 sets.  When they came back they looked nothing like the original finish, so I decided it would be better to zinc plate with a light yellow chromate passivation.  I  noted that when the protected areas of the UCC-6 base were closely examined, the telltale signs of yellow-zinc plating were present.
I next sent the parts to K.P.C. Electroplating and the results were fabulous.  I have included some before and after photos in the email for reference.
The vendor contact information is:
K.P.C. Souther IndustriesElectroplating600 N.E. 28th StreetPompano Beach, FL 33061(954) 943-4022
Price per UCC-6 set (including all bright-work such as transformer bells, etc.) = ~$150.00
Thanks.--daveP.S.  Sorry for the large email files, this is the last one I will be sending for a while.
