Nickel plating restoration

[gamblingman]

Hello....I am a long time restorer/collector of old coin-op devices, yet new to the forum. I am currently restoring a Buckley Digger that I found in a garage, and I am looking for a good restorative plater that can prep and re-plate several parts that have the old Nickel plating flaking off. The company I used in the past has since gone out of business, and I know from a very bad experience how the wrong person can destroy a fragile piece in an instant. I'm looking for someone that does good work, with a fairly quick turnaround time, and most importantly knows how to deal with some of the old metals used in these old devices. I am in the Chicago area, so local would be a plus, but finding the right person is the most important element. Anyone have any suggestions of who to contact?

Thanks for any and all help!

I am also looking for a capable plater here in Ontario CANADA.

Anyone know of a company in the great white north ?
