One thing I had thought of recently just meandering amongst the forums and various things.
What if you where to take a Sunbeam or True cooler and silver plate it ?
Seems would be doable, wonder how that would affect one
We actually had a guy at work and used to be set up a few years back for the electro-plating method, the application we were using it for has ceased to exist. Fiber optical took over that particular program.
Cyanide pretty nasty stuff overall to mess with heh, it was done in a controlled environment.
Wish we had it still I'd have him chuck my cooler in there
Not sure its possible with aluminum to begin with would have to look that one up. The copper pipes wouldn't be a problem.

*DO NOT PLEASE EVEN ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME BTW EXTREMELY DANGEROUS*
Ah frig just read my own link cant do with aluminum it looks.
We used to silver coat over copper only for a select application, about as far as I can go there me thinks.
Gonna ponder a bit more before deleteing it
Hmm....
