How deeply pitted?

Should cost $220-250 to get rechromed (Diamond hard chroming at Enfield did my Marzocchi's for $250 and did a little straighten for nix 8)).

Hi Mitch,
I have rebuilt a few forks and had most of them rechromed by RAD.
If it is at all possible get good second hand ones or new ones.
If you can not find replacement tubes then get the old ones rechromed.
Rad charge $300.00 plus $20.00 for straightening for the pair.
Walter at YSS charge a lot less, give Walter a call.
