I have a couple of silver plated brass goblets that need re-plating. We
don't really want them - do any people replate such items for their own

Bin or Ebay?

Those kits look terribly expensive.
I remember my Dad, who retired into being a chemistry teacher, doing
nickel and silver plating in the garden shed. I suppose I should have
taken more interest.
All I remember were small electric motors with glass rods as the
stirrers, tanks of chemicals and power supplies. I think the psu's might
have been old battery chargers. It all looked Heath Robinson and cheap.
I seem to remember him replating several door knobs, but that was
probably just nickel plating.
