Re: Anodizing Services

Thanks for the obvious answer Jerry.

Yes, I know about the Thomas register.

If you haven't, I suggest looking under 'metal finishers'

New Jersey lists 63

Metal finishers are a fairly close knit community in my experience, call a few and one can probably recommend a good match for your situation.

I'm fortunate to have a choice of quite-reasonable anodizing shops that are between me and my day job.

But there are a couple of small anodizing shops on the web--you send 'em stuff, they return it in one of a variety of pleasing colours.

I can't find it right now, but there's an online anodzing house that specializes in funky colours and splash anodizing for the home bicycle builder. Also, the amateur telescope guys usually have a good lead or two for this--main telescope tubes and focusser tubes they like to get anodized black.

Hey Fred Shecter how's the spelling?

If it really is National and not Nation, then this is them. They've been around for quite a while. I'm trying to recall the predecessor of the NSS, (NSI? I was a member of them since NARAM-18 when they sent us a speaker) but they merged with the L5 society a long time ago, forming NSS.

Hmm, "founded in 1974 by Wernher von Braun". Impressive.

But everybody knows what NSS REALLY stands for...right? That would be the National Speleological Society. Founded in 1941 by Bill Stephenson.

I operate a anodizing shop.
