I have an Edison S19 and I am in the midst of restoring it. The problem that I have run into is with the wheels/wheel brackets. It looks like the portion of the wheels that are steel were gold plated but most of that is gone and there is a lot of rust. I can deal with the rust but what should I do about the gold plating or better yet...what do most people do in this situation? Should I restore the gold finish(re-plate it) or use gold paint? I know the wheel brackets were gold but I am not sure about the actual wheels (brand name - Faultless Feet). These seem to be wood sandwiched between two metal disks but I don't know it the disks were also gold plated.
I would appreciate any help that someone could give me.
Thanks, Jim R

By "wheels", are you referring to the castors under the feet?

BTW: perhaps you should post this in the Disc Phonograph thread.

I ended up reassembling the wheels without any packing and they seem to work fine. I had to replace the rivets but that was the easy part. Thanks for all the help.
