Dumb Question - Where to Buy Dip and Acetone?

I got an interesting deal yesterday, about 50 silver rounds from the 1970s. They have been improperly stored but otherwise not messed with. Some have PVC and few others have hazy toning. Some have toned nicely and those I won't touch. These are primarily bullion pieces, so I'm not too concerned about value.
So, where is the best place to buy the necessary "conservation" supplies?

Acetone can be purchased at literally any store that carries paint.

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Thats what the Label says Jerry but a lot of people just dip the entire coin if it is warranted.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. If by Dip, we're looking for an acid thiourea mixture to remove tarnish, generally referred to as "dip", then that is not MS-70. EZ-est is I think the most common dip. I think MS-70 is more soap based but I haven't used it. I have some of it on order too. --Jerry

Similar to Acetone, but works differently in certain situations is Zylol. You can buy it from a hardware store or through an EAC dealer down South. Do NOT use a Q-tip if applying acetone to coins.....especially silver (MS or PF). You will cause hairlines.

It is good these are cheap coins. If I were a coin doctor, the patient would be dead
