i can recommend john van stelton. he also has a full optical bench and
does resilvering and works on restoring lenses. we even discussed
fixing up an otherwise beautiful summar, but the cost of the reworking
was equivalent to the market value less original cost (the latter being
$25!)

phone him at 303-665-6640 for details.
