    I have a Nishjin Model A bowling alley theme that I got for Christmas, probably sometime around 1974 or so, always stored indoors and covered.
    I appreciate all the great posts on cleaning and restoring. What started as my usual dust removal has now turned in to a restoration of sorts. Stopped short of removing the brass pins and playfield graphics, but I did remove everything from the back of the machine and everything from the front, except for the tulips (heard they're fragile). Just need to clean the playfield and put everything back together. I polished all my brass pins with Brasso, a Dremel with a cotton tip attachment and shoelaces.
    Now for my question: is there anything you folks can recommend to help protect the brass keep it shiny? The pin polishing was a ton of work! I see some recommend using a Miracle polishing cloth. Does this protect the brass without leaving a residue that will attract dirt and dirty the balls?
    Sorry for the sideways image, it was correct on my PC, but I couldn't figure out how to rotate it once attached.

    Yep , I use the nontoxic M.C. for almost 20 years and even polish Pewter figures that I casted and finished and one that I polished over Two years ago is still Super Shiny and the Brass nails of my machines still are bright after over a Decade .

    What really sold me on the M.C. is no nasty smell and you can cut the cloth into shoe string pieces and I use a microfiber cloth to polish them up (just separately wash them ) .

    and a biscuit
    When things don't go right the 1st time , Step back ,Take a break and come back renewed. RGS
