Earlier this month someone posted an answer to that very question and it as
Gary Hand at 'Hands on Optics' that does currently perform the service.
However, 'modest' is not what I would call the approximately $1000 fee
quoted in the message (yes, that's 3 zeros). Sounded like a fairly in-depth
examination and accuracy (goto) check though. Don't know what else was
involved in the checkout. Give them a call at 301-482-0000 if you want
specific info.
