    Need Input

    I've had it with plating shops and I've decided to go ahead with Queen City Plating or Christensen Plating and pay the freight and endure the wait. It will cost me money because I'm reluctant to raise prices much on my restoration work. But I'm sending a quote out on restoring the signal lights on an early 1965 and I can't take any chances with quality. Do you recommend one of these over the other?

    Thanks,
    John

    Over the years I've been very happy with the work done by this shop: https://www.spacecoast-plating.com/

    The plating Christensen's did for me was excellent.

    I checked in with Queen City. They were nice enough to give me some rough ballpark pricing and I don't see how I fit it in with the pricing levels that I want to maintain with my restorations.

    Queen is way over priced. I quit using them years ago. Call me John and I'll tell you who I use now. You need to call me anyway.
