1907 Edison Standard mandrel question

[wcukras]

Hello,

 

I'm having my 1907 Edison Standard mandrel re-plated. I just want make sure that it should be "polished nickel" as apposed to some other finish. Can anyone confirm this for me?

 

Thank you in advance.

Yes, polished, shiny nickel.

Thanks Jerry,

 

The company that is re-plating my mandrel is asking what, if anything, is inside of it. He was concerned about internal damage through the holes on the side with the longer shaft.

Is there anything I should know about to pass on to him? Any advise would be very much appreciated.

To me, it seems to be hollow with no mechanical parts.

 

Thanks again

Wayne

It is indeed hollow, with only the mainshaft spanning its length through the center.

I wouldn't think that the open holes would be a problem. The liquid should just drain out and dry up after plating is done.
