I just had the keys on my 1963 R13 replated.
The price was about $20/key, though I don't know what the exact amount was because, of course, the clarinet had to be stripped before being sent to the plater, then repadded, new springs installed, and the instrument reassembled and adjusted. With some other minor work to bring the horn into prime condition, the total bill was around $650.
If the price isn't daunting, this may be:
Plating companies generally run key plating only when it's convenient for them, and my keys waited for about six months before it was convenient for them to do my job. So if you only have one instrument and can't get along without it for a long time, either buy a backup instrument or reconsider.
