Seems that all the Cal EPA laws have driven out the quality guys. It'd probably be better to start a list of shops 'not to use'. I tried Van Nuys Plating and won't use them again, too long of a wait and poor quality. Other plating shops I talked to either send it out to be chromed, or did mostly areospace work and wouldn't take any pinball parts, even just for nickel plating.
Mike, who did you use for the wire ramps?
