- Our local astronomy club (Westminster, MD) has a 24.6" Perkin-Elmer
- mirror requiring realuminizing. Although we have obtained several
- estimates, some companies cannot accomodate mirrors of this aperture.
-
- I am asking for names, addresses and telephone numbers of firms who
- can do a quality job. Ballpark pices are also helpful, for
- both regular and enhanced coatings.
-
- Although we are willing to look nationwide, due to the fact
- that the mirror is full thickness, and when crated would weigh
- on the order of some 200 pounds, it would probably be delivered and
- retrieved by courier. This imparts an east coast geographical bias,
- unless there is a significant price break farther away.
