Getting an individual key plated should be no big problem if you have a
backup horn. Our repair shop would clean and prepare it and send it to
Anderson Silverplating in Indiana. It would probably cost no more than $50
or so, even with the pad replacement that would be necessary. Some repair
shops may have on-site silver plating available for small jobs like that,
too, which would probably mean less downtime.
