I used him many years ago for nickel plating on my Pop Brennan parts. Polishing a bit heavy, like half the BSA logo left on the cranks, but they are not that deep and how pitted were the parts? I don't remember. The plating was superb. Not cheap. Slow.

Dave, I used him years ago on a 1937 Shelby Airflow (Balloon top 10 desirable; way out of list structure). Good work, over buffed however. Last I looked a few years ago, no longer in business. I am using Artistic Silver Plating out of Signal Hill (Los Angeles) Ca. Top guy. Ask for SallyAnn. Tell um I sent ya.
