Must not have been real chrome, because I don't think chrome rusts?

Yeah, I want to figure out a easy way i can restore some of these 3 ring binders i have, remove the rust, and also get the pages to move more freely on the rusty rings.

There are non damaging chemical solutions like Evapo-Rust Rust Remover, that you can soak the binder area in and remove it. There are also jellies that you can just place on the metal areas to remove it, if youur concerned that there are tears in the binder that will get to the substrate below the surface, which I don't think is plastic on those old binders. Probably cardboard.

The one problem of switching my TI99 systems over from using CRT monitors to VGA screens, is the lack of built-in speakers, so I found these cool vintage looking soundbars, that are just the right size for my 3 systems.

 

This weekend I will make a demonstration video with sound.

One step closer in firing up my USRobotics modems, I got in the power supplies for them today.
