A few years ago I did a nice
Ding job on my stainless steel Merc "Cleaver". I took it to H&H in Essex CT. They quoted me $145 to fix it. When I picked it up they charged me $114.. I had to wait 20 minutes for the prop to cool off because they had just finished polishing it. Very satisfied.
In the meantime, you might be able to find a used "spare" at Fay's while you wait for the repairs at H&H.. Fay's has a attic full of used props. NB
