I recently found a pair of #2 Merriman Bros. replacement/back up winches. Cleaned, degreased, new springs and touched up some minor burrs on the pawls. They are in very good shape except for the chrome plating looks terrible. Can anyone tell me, is it ok to carefully remove the old chrome plating with a wire
wheel? Would like to polish all of the winches assuming they are
bronze under chrome.
One week left. Freaking out. Long
winter.
