Using a copper electrode for the negative electrode in a normal CS
generator might work? just weave some copper mesh onto the electrode? I
experimented with a copper electrode (thanks Ode!) in my silverpuppy,
and it got nicely silverplated quite quickly. And I made nice batches of
CS in the process. LOL. Might as well get usable CS while silver plating
your copper?

Silver mesh may be hard to find. But one can easily silver plate
copper mesh, which I would think would behave similarly. Simply take
the copper mesh and place it into a container of water with citric
acid added. Place a silver anode in the container, without it
touching the copper, and run a current through the water, with the
silver being positive. The silver will form silver citrate which
readily dissolves, and will electroplate onto the copper mesh. The
only problem I see with this is that if the mesh has some thickness,
the inside of the mesh may not plate well. If you have any silver
nitrate solution, then you can dip it into that and it will plate
rapidly and evenly.
