Not Mine $20 Roulette Racks and $4 Paul-son Trays (2 Viewers)

Blah, I would like to apologize for referring this lot to you guys. My intentions were pure in trying to get you cheap racks of Roulettes, but clearly they were in very poor shape. Gary is a marine electrician and he gets his supplies from decommissioned ships. He is certainly a good guy, just didn't have much of use to chippers like us. I'm sorry if any of you feel cheated from this transaction.

I guess I'd try a TSP soak. It will ruin the hot stamp of course, but those chips don't seem like they'll ever be any good anyway.

Lol. I picked up about 800 mitchs chips. It's the exact same thing. It's like they were half soaking in a muddy puddle for a year. Half the chip is perfect.

No problem. I Paid a little more than I might have for worn roulettes, but I got some colors I can use.

No worries, I have about a rack of the chips with what looks like spray paint on them (what potsie's pic's show, I think)

We all known the chance we take buying chips from non chippers.

Hey if it's paint or something like that "stuck" on the chips try some "Goop" hand cleaner from the auto parts store. Not the kind with pumice in it! Put it on, let it sit for a little bit, then rub it off. Conditions your hands and your chips.

BTW, this stuff is the best vinyl cleaner in the world. The lanolin in it conditions the vinyl and it cleans every crack and crevice in it. Great for mid-century modern furniture.

Heres the dollar breakdown on the chips. 583 roulette chips @.30 each. (sounded really good). $35 shipping? ouch. $32 for 6 broken racks. I also insisted paying the 3% so i have full buyer protection if I wanted to return them $7.50. Total price paid $248.85 for 583 chips delivered. $.43 cents a chip delivered. Not bad.
Chips arrive and about 20% are unusable. Most of the rest will require lots of elbow grease. Ware on chips is minimal and pretty much all have crosshatching. Once cleaned theyll be good.
After considering unusable chips the actual cost delivered per chip is $.53 per chip. Below are some pics of a few that I cleaned up the edges and oiled to see what they would look like. Im pretty sure that considering the colors involved and the condition of the chips that $.53 per chip delivered is a very good price once theyre cleaned. What do you think?

It is most likely mold.

 

[Jambine]

It is most likely mold.

That seems right, as these were most likely wet chips

 

[Potsie1]

I think you nailed it. Any suggestions? Multiple TSP soaks dont put a dent into it.

You might try the process that Abby uses to whiten white chips. I would try it on one or two before trying a whole bunch.

Just want to update everyone that while cleaning these chips is painstaking the results are turning out spectacular. Mixtures and combinations of TSP soaks, magic erasers, and thanks to @David O soaks in mold cleaners(even stronger than tsp and eats away what the tsp wont). I will update more pictures as I make my way through them.
