Yeah I think it was this thread as he's posted earlier in this but that was 2011.

Basically he had the base of the stem re-plated in brass (can't recall the place but it looked good), cleaned up the alloy clamps and got new stem and clamp bolts.

That's what I'm possibly after but would like to have seen any upto date places and prices.
I got quoted £100 from one place but without knowing what others have been charged (recently) I ain't a clue if this is expensive or not for this service

That's why I'm asking if anyone else has done this recently

Just give them a call, you've seen what it turned out like so you know what sort of a job they do. Or Google electro platers in your area... I'd call them for you but it's nearly midnight here in Perth and I'm going to bed in a minute...

I've seen what job they did 8 years ago not recent work so that's the idea of asking now.
Others ask which chromer to use even though the telephone directory is full of them but members like to hear and see good feedback and recommendations from others that have used them in recent times.
