I have a 1950 model 90 C it is an overall excellent condition here in Galveston Texas. In the absence of a total overhaul which I don’t think is necessary I’m considering removing and re-chroming the top of the unit due to lotta rust and pot marks from being near the ocean any concerns or expertise about this would be much appreciate it it looks like just the screws to the well mounts or the only thing holding that thing in place Secondly the griddle plate has a lot of corrosion type discoloration on it I ran it through the dishwasher and got all the old accumulated grease and food matter off of it but it still has some discoloration I’m wondering if a good polishing tool and what type of polishing material will be best to bring it back to an original finish thank you

I find extremely fine steel wool, (really, really fine: #0000), a little baking soda, and a lot of elbow grease puts a nice shine on my griddle. Don’t push down too hard on the steel wool in any one spot. Just an all over, gentle touch!

I missed the notification that there was a new post so am late to the game. Logged in the look for a Thermowell applesauce recipe I remember seeing and saw the post.
I have great luck with just a good quality steel wool pad, like Brillo or SOS. The dollar store ones tend to scratch and gouge, so avoid them. We have a laundry sink and do mine in there and I just keep the water running real slow, then keep the pad wet while I work. The discoloration will often come off with Barkeeper's friend, so try that before polishing with the steel wool. Barkeepers Friend contains the mild acid that is in rhubarb (which is how it was discovered, I'm told) and is safe to use on cookware. They have the powder and also have a trigger sprayer foam that works well.
And I'm off to cook applesauce...
