I've done business with Muncy Winds and Woodwind & Brass. Both are really fine places.

As for reboring the WHOLE horns I never said to do this. I'm totally against this. In fact I was careful with using the word Reamers. If reamers are made correctly they are tapered and will HELP get rid of warped areas and where the bore is too tight/small. This surely can make the Golden Era horns play so much better. Doing this can also mean you may have undercutting holes on this vintage clarinet for tuning and stuffy notes to deal with. I'm OK with adjusting tone holes, mainly the upper register usually needs it even when the horns were bought new. These horns still needed work when new. Reamers are a repairman's best friend and I use them on some horns and often on some mouthpieces.

Yes I forgot about Hans Moennig's comments about silver plating, he did say this and I should have remembered. Good call Karl and thank you!
