Can Vintage Cinelli Stem be Restored?

Hey all,

I am on the hunt for a vintage Cinelli stem to restore my bike to original components. All the N.O.S. stems are $120+ which is out of my budget. The question I have is - can the aluminum on a used stem be restored? Can it be polished/buffed to remove the scratches? or would that only make it worse? Have any of you ever done it?

Thanks,
Ben
