Guys...
The advantage in silver plating is, of course, the lowering of resistance
caused by the skin effect, and as we know all the current will travel on
the surface of the cavity. The silver plating does not have to be very
thick to get the desired effect of the additional few watts this will afford.
There are a number of low cost silver plating kits available. I used one
for my 8877 amp that worked fine. Cost me $12.
