Hello;

Not sure what happened to my previous post, so forgive me if this appears twice. I am new to the forum, but a long time restorer of old slots and coin-op devices. One of my current projects is a buckley digger, and I need to find a good plater to re-plate the nickel finish on the boom and several other smaller parts. The company I used in thepast has since gone out of business, and I know from a bad experience how trusting a fragile part with the wrong plater can easily spell disaster! I need to find someone who is not old good at plating, but also in removing the old plate and making the piece presentable. Does anyone out there have a plater they have worked with and trust....and who has a fairly quick turnaround time? I am in the Chicago area, so local would be a plus, but the main thing is to find the right company, so matter where they are.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions............

Who went under? Have you used courtesy plating in chicago?
I haven't had anything plated in a few years, but victor at courtesy has always done a great job for me!!

I have used Victor and have no complaints, quick turnaround reasonable prices an good work.

Jim Roller recommended Courtesy as well, so I think that is where I will start. I moved up to the Chicago area after retiring from State Law Enforcement in KS, so the plater I was using was a small shop close to home. They did a good job, but turnaround time was terrible. I tried another shop some time ago, and the guy managed to lose several small parts that I still haven't been able to replace.....I also had one guy grind on a part and ruin it for me, so I am a little gun-shy. I will give Victor a call.....thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Joe
