I would suggest just getting it gold plated by a benevolent music store in conjunction with Anderson Silver Plating for around $30 - $40.
When cleaned up, does it still shine like new, or does it need buffing? "Ready-to-plate" is easier and cheaper for your music store to deal with than one that has a bunch of surface scratches that need to be removed.
