Platten Resurfacing?

So where are people sending their plattens for resurfacing these days? Recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

J.J. Short is probably the most popular, and the place that I use and recommend. You can find their info here.

Interesting. 
Is there a ballpark figure or range for a standard platen?
(I know I should probably just ask them....)

Hi Mark

Just looking at topic http://typewriter.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=2372 it would seem that $70.00 is a ball park figure for a standard platen. Hope this gives you something to work with. All the best,
