[Jewelry making - Article 00047] - [Orchid] Experience with Plug & Plate kit

    I'm considering getting an electroplating outfit. The cyanides and
    voltage are a bit intimidating, but I'd like to replate some silver
    items and to freshly plate some sterling items gold. 

    Has anyone tried the Plug & Plate kit at
    http://www.caswellplating.com/kits/plugnplate.htm 

    Seems unlikely to make a thick enough deposit on the item. 

    If not, then can someone recommend a modestly priced (and space
    saving) rectifier or kit? 

    I know they can be made from batteries, but I think I'd rather have
    a ready-made one. 

Cheers,
