i have to silver plate some copper pendants. i was wondering does anyone have any experience with the equipment some companies are selling? or a way of building the electroplating cicuit myself?

Do you really need to electroplate? Silver plating on copper (at printed circuits) is done by dipping the metal into a silver salt solution, without current. Did I miss somehing, like the plating thickness maybe?

I would go for electroless plating, much easier if you have the reagents.

If a circuit is needed you will have to start with a circuit diagram. The first symbol could be a symbol for a D.C. power source and in the physical world you may want to find a supplier for a good transport battery and charging equipment.
