Speaking of chrome shops in Rhode Island (we were speaking about chrome
shops in Rhode Island weren't we?), may I recommend another shop? I have
no experience with them as a customer of their services, but I know of them
because they are advertisers in this summer's VTR Convention booklet. I
like to give our supporters a boost when I can. They are:
International Chromium Plating Co.
2 Addison Place
Providence, RI 02909
Phone 401-421-0205
They say that all parts are hand polished, then "Triple Plated" (Acid
Copper/Nickel/Chrome), and that they also plate pot metal, die cast,
aluminum, steel, stainless steel and brass. (I'm just copying this from
their advertising copy).
