    I'm using Novus 3 to remove years of grime from the plastics inside the first machine I'm cleaning up - the '78 Heiwa Dog. I've encountered a rusty metal plate that I wouldn't want my precious pachinko balls touching, so here's my plan of attack: soak the metal in vinegar to dissolve the rust, enamel paint, and then clear coat. I don't want to drill out the rivets holding the metal in place, so I'm doing all this inside the plastic housing. I assume this metal plate exists so that the balls make a sound when falling onto it. I'll report on the sound when I'm through.
