beerzombie - I do the majority of refurbishing on the pipes that arrive here. For those beyond my abilities I send them to Mike Myers at Walker Pipe Repairs for his complete cleaning and ozone treatment. For pipes that require beyond that I send them to George at Precision Pipe Repairs. So far ( with respect to all others doing this type of work ), they are the only two gentlemen I trust and have no issues sending them even my own personal pipes to have work done on them.
Regards
Michael J. Glukler
