RE: Reanodize Face Plate?

I realize this has been discussed before, but the info is old and scattered on the forum.

I just grabbed two broken Lexicon LX-7's and have them all cleaned up and repaired. They are actually quite good cosmetically, but they are silver and I would love to have them reanodized in black. I realize that if I want to keep the silk-screening that I need to have that copied first, then have the old anodized layer removed, then reanodized and dyed black, then have the silk-screen reapplied. If the silkscreening is too expensive I may skip this part as there really isn't much on the amps anyway and "Lexicon" is engraved in the faceplate already so that will be retained no matter what.

I'm in Chicago. Does anyone know a good place that can do the whole shebang, or a good place for the silk-screening and a good place for the anodizing? Or is there a good company I can ship the faceplates to in order to have the whole process done?

I know a lot of folks will feel I should keep the amps original, but I've always been into customizing things to my taste. Also in this rack, I have a Lexicon MC-10 that is black and all the rest of the equipment is black. I just think it will look great to have them match better. Photos below:

Any help finding a shop would be appreciated.

Thanks and kind regards,
craigr
