I have a 40-50 y.o. Belknap's Blue Grass level that belonged to my father. One of the bubble vials is missing, and all but one of the six glass windows that protect the vials are gone. I would like to have it restored, but I don't really want to take on doing it myself. (I'm not sure where to find the parts to restore it; more importantly, I'm not sure I could do it neatly, and I would like to have it end up looking as close to the original as possible.) Is there anyone on here who has restored one of these and would be willing to do this one for me? Or does anyone know of a reputable place I can send it to have this done? Thanks.
