AM FM Radio Face Recrome

[Rugman]

Can Anyone Tell Me Where To Have The Pot Metal Nose Or Face Whatever You call It Recromed And the pits Removed? I Bought A Restored Radio Thinking That Would Be Done But no such luck. Thanks In advance for your Help.

I had mine done at a local chrome shop. I would think any good re-chromer could do it. I do recall I had them do it again after it didn't meet my expectations. They were cool about it and it looks like new now.

Glad to hear they took care of ya on it, do you mind saying what they charged you for the plating job and how recent? I just took this factory truck AM/FM face plate/slide bar into a local chrome shop (Oregon Plating), and was quoted $225... for re-chroming . This shop does do some great plating work, especially on pot metal as I have used them a few times for 61-64 impala related parts, just nothing in the last 5 or 6 years. Does this amount quoted seem out of line for plating nowadays?

Although I can't remember the price (sorry), I would have not done it had they wanted that much. Thats getting into the neighborhood of a whole radio.
