Using some ingenuity and our products, this customer built himself
an excellent electroplating workshop.
First image shows the control panel mounted on the side of
the cabinet.
- The top black pull switch is the main. Since it is also
illuminated, it draws .020 amps.
- Next to it is the white knob, that's the old style heater
switch we were talking about. It controls the speed of the
blower motor mounted above the panel (another illustration)
- A second pull switch, also illuminated, powers 3 toggle
switches which in turn power up the light bulbs, obviously
3 seperate circuits.
- Below is the yellow amp meter, digital read out, $ 4.99
from Harbor Tolls ( on sale )

Second image is the left side of cabinet. I
went from left to right:
- cleaning solution empty ( will use for rinse or de-plating
pickle)
- copper
- nickel
- chrome

Other end of cabinet. Note power lines running
full length, control panel on left and if you look above control
panel, you can see the blower motor. Also have an additional
shelf with 48" shop light mounted underneath.

This shows close-up of power lines and air distribution
valve to copper and nickel tank.

This shows further to the right. This is a pull
switch, again illuminated, and to the right the black hole
is a 12 volt accesory plug. This is for two immersion heaters,
the 12 volt automotive type for heating the nickel and chrome
solutions. These have a seperate power source, 2 12 volt batteries
coupled together.
