Re: Cleaning Brass Nails
Be careful not to mar the nail if you are using a drill to polish. You can use a cloth and a cotton shoestring to polish the exposed nail without removing from the playfield. There are quite a few threads here about nail polishing using everything from vinegar soaks to rock tumblers and vibration tumblers. I understand you don’t want to part with $50 right now. All your other real options seem manual and time consuming. After doing a couple machines maybe you’ll change your mind and consider the investment in a tumbler of some sort. I prefer my brass shell casing vibrator with walnut shells and brasso over my rock tumbler. It’s nice just to toss everything in, walk away for 12 hours and come back to sparkling brass nails. I can use that time to work on, or better yet, play a machine.
