Anderson Plating is a good source for the plating, however, they have an independent repair shop do the actual lapping of the valves, or at least they used to do it that way.
Why not send the entire horn to Badger State Repair through your local repair shop? They do all the stripping, plating, and fitting in house. They are the best place in my opinion to have this type work done.
The reason for sending the entire horn is to make sure the valve casings are also perfectly round. The cost for this procedure should not be any more than $400 at retail.
