Froggie,

I just came to the Cleaning & Preservation forum to post the same exact video from Metacafe!!

Everyone who wants to try electrolysis should watch this video, especially if you want to keep from ruining your finds. Take note of the size of the part he's cleaning (an exhaust manifold that must weigh 8+ lbs). His power supply is 2 AMP. Try using a power supply that large on items of less mass and you better be quick with the on/off switch.

For most coin sized objects (even big coins) I've found that a power supply of 100 - 150mA is enough. Low and slow is the key.
