@classixs Thanks for the tips! I am trying to decide if I just want to buff this tank, or nickel plate it. Buffing might be easier so I will give that a shot first. All of the metal is pitted for some reason. I am going to assume that the water that was used was fairly acidic or dust ate away at it. Also, the glass looks as though it is chipped on 2 sides. The fine people at Jensen have told me that they used to cut them by hand, so they may not have been perfectly round at the time of manufacturing. They have new ones that are better than the originals. It is hard to tell what caused the chipped edges, but I think I would like to replace it. I will save the old one for nostalgia.
