This listing is for a gold plating kit with almost everything you need to run a professional-grade plating operation. It includes the plating machine, several hundred dollars worth of metal solutions, and many accessories. This set has been used a few times, but everything is still in great condition. It includes the original instruction booklet and all of the accessories.
This kit still has plenty of each liquid needed to get you started. However, there's only one 1/4" Application Sleeve remaining. You generally need three for each round of plating (one to scrub the item with electro-cleaner, one to apply the surface activator, and one to apply the metal itself). Fortunately, these only cost about $1 each, so it won't be difficult to stock up on those. I also strongly recommend getting a box of disposable latex gloves. These chemicals aren't noticeably harsh on the skin/lungs, but it's always best to be safe.
