In this instructable I show you how I cleaned up bolts that went on my Centuri Tunnel Hunt.  The game was stored in a barn for a number of years, and many of the parts on it were horribly rusted during its stay.

In this initial photo you can see just how rusted the bolt is.

Step 1: Remove that rust!

In this step I'm using electrolysis to convert/remove the rust that's on the bolt.  For more on this process, see my Instructable, Refinishing Metal Arcade Game Parts, Part I.  I picked up some scrap sheet metal to use as my sacrificial pieces from a sheet metal fabricator.  An arcade game power supply supplies the current.
