Why don't you let us know who you tried to contact? I would recommend Christopher Hutchins from http://www.highendpins.com, but he could just as well be one of those guys you didn't hear back from...
Contacted HEP first and heard back but then haven't heard anything the last couple emails, HSA n moving and backlogged so it would be awhile before they would take it, kruzman....never heard back, and I think that's who I have contacted so far.
Quoted from trilogybeer:Try Neo .
I think Neo is booked pretty solid for a while, as I'm still waiting in line to get a cabinet to him for restoration. I guess it never hurts to ask though....
Yep Everyone that does this sort of work is going to be booked solid because the work is so time consuming . Just need to contact them and get in line .
In the process of the tail end of a vacation and will post some pics of the pf in the next couple days when I get home.
On a huge plus side HEP is going to take on the pf which I am more than confident he will do some amazing work!
Time for vacation to end and get the pf stripped ASAP!

Here is the original post from when I found it was a proto

Congrats. HEP is the best in the business at pf restorations.
I'd suggest sending the wireforms to Mike Chestnut, have them done in brass. Maybe do the Theatre Entrance in brass as well?

I think this is the plan and maybe a few other things on the pf done in brass plating but the rails, lockdown etc keep original
