I don't know about dollar value, but it sure sounds like it was worth
it in
satisfaction.

yes i am very happy with it thanks for your message

The fact that there was rust on top of the chrome means that there are
a lot
of tiny pin holes in it. To retard re-rusting, I suggest that you rub
in a
good coat of wax. This will make the chrome shed water, and will plug
the
pin holes.

i will do that, thank you very much for your help
