I'm usually found hanging around over in the 80's forum but I thought I should share this with you guys since there seems like a lot of serious restoration going on here and a keen interest in plating some of the original hardware and brackets.
It seems like vendors have come and gone with some success and I wanted to share another outfit with you guys since they just returned hardware and brackets back to me cadmium yellow/gold plated and I think the results are fantastic. The pictures, before and after, should speak for themselves. BTW, I have no afiliation with these guys, just wanna pass another source to you folks.

I spoke with Tom who was extremly helpful and he promised that their turn-around was about a week. A little after a week had passed, the UPS dude came a knocking and I had my hardware back. Tom said they have a min order of 16 lbs at $110. My order was right at 16 lbs so I expect my invoice, when i receive it, to show about $110 plus shipping.
Enjoy the pics…
