I wonder if AGM made founts for Aladdin?
For that amount of rust I'd certainly go with electrolysis. Here are a couple good demos. [MEDIA] [MEDIA] The first is quick and dirty, the second...
For a big kettle like that I'd set up a simple electrolysis rig. Some water, couple tablespoons of baking soda and a 12v 1a power supply. Hang a...
The shape of the holes is because Akron marketed their lamps under the Diamond Lamps brand. The square knob came about because one of the...

Tissue paper (the kid you use for wrapping presents) works as the membrane.
Anything with sharp edges/points will work better than round BBs, that's why I like burnishing shot. Knocking off the big flakes of rust before...
