Are you saying they add acid so that it takes more sugar to make it taste sweet? When I went to school, they still used sugar in soft drinks. When I visited soft drink bottling plants with my father in the late 50s to very early 60s, you could always tell a clean plant from one with lax maintenance because if the sugary mess was allowed to "mellow" in places, instead of being cleaned daily, the whole bottling room took on a sour, fermentation-type of smell. In certain areas, that might have been a pleasant, familiar smell, but it was not one of cleanliness.

Second Attempt
After checking out naval jelly at the hardware store and seeing on the label that it shouldn't be used on chrome, I gave the panel another shot with the Turtle Wax chrome polish and a stiffer toothbrush. There was a slight improvement that was indicated more by the fact that the polishing cream took on a brown tint than by the results once buffed it off.
At this point I feel it's as good as it's going to get. I might have it at 10-footer status by now. Anything better than that will require re-chroming and re-painting. The pitting looks much worse in the flash photo than it does to the naked eye, but regardless, the pitting is there and can't be corrected with polish, jelly, soda or anything else.

But What's This?
This strange item is inside the well for the lint screen and exhaust. It's not stationary and seems to pivot from the bottom. It can be moved to lay in the bottom of the well, or up and out of the way on the side.
Is it supposed to be there, or is it a weird foreign item that has gotten itself wedged into place?

STRANGE THING UNDER LINT FILTER
The early years of this dryer design had a wire guard to keep socks out of the blower in case you tried to run the dryer with the filter removed. The problem was that the guard would get clogged and people would not know to check it and clean it, so it was removed from later production models.

Thanks John.
When I found this guard, I also found a sock way down at the bottom. I guess the thing did its job who knows how many years ago.
