I need a talented reel refinisher for a Hardy St George. Any help I can get would be appreciated. For many years Ron Rutkowski was doing it for me but apparently no longer. Think health issues. clisella@aol.com

Dont know if John Mackenzie is still doing work like this. But you could ask . He is Restoration on this forum. He is an expert on such matters.

One of several valuable projects Mr. Mackenzie completed for me earlier in the year and PROPERLY as if in the hands of the original production crew for repair. I can not think of a more fitting description of my opinion and that is specifically what I told the man myself when I called him after receiving it.
