I didnt see your reply when I posted Vic. Sanding in various steps down to
2000 grit and then several stages of buffing would certainly help but its
sure labor intensive.
Ive restored unobtainum stainless auto trim that way.
The finish is done in a tumbler. I watched the process at National when I
worked there and later at Cardwell.
I havent looked that close at the Titan for dimensions and working space.
The AL-1500 has about the same output and has no arcing problem. Perhaps
adapting their circuit might be feasible. Or do away with the L section
entirely.
