Well they aren't ALL quite that expensive &c. There's a crusty ol' fellow in the greater Boston area who has been doing it forever & (at least a couple years ago) was very very reasonable. Charged a colleague about $450 to mend a shattered plate. We invited him to give a tech presentation for the local PTG meeting. While he had a slide show of various boilers, engines, & other heavy duty stuff that he had mended better than new, he really wasn't ready to teach *us* how to do it in one evening. A bit taciturn, and protective of his "trade secrets." Can't blame him for that, and his prices were extremely reasonable.Patrick Draine On Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 10:01 AM, Fenton Murray <fmurray at cruzio.com> wrote: > They fly these guys out to ships dead in the water to repair engine > blocks. > They had just returned from a power plant in another country when I was > there.
