    Chrome is pretty spendy

    Maybe re chrome them, there is a facility in SLC that re chromes bumpers and such but not sure it would be much cheaper than new stacks.

    Chroming is very expensive, or atleast from what I was quoted once on a radio cover.

    Took the case off of my Connex 4600, and wanted to have it chromed. I contacted a chroming place, and they quoted me $400 just to chrome the covers.

    Try some Simple Green with some 0000 steel wool.If that doesn't work its either rechrome or buy new.The 0000 steel wool won't scratch them if you wash all the grit and grime off first.Thats what I use to keep mine shiney

    Have a question that is not too off topic. Where do you guys buy your stacks? Is there an online place or do you shop locally?
