SCT corrector plate coatings question

Hi everyone,
I've recently picked up an old 10" LX6 that the coatings on the corrector plate are about half gone. My first project is to try and remove the remainder of what's left and then try and find someone to re coat it.

So first off, anyone know how to remove the old stuff, and second does anyone know of a company that re coats correctors?

Thanks,
Gary

Give the corrector a real good cleanin' before you decide the coatings are gone. Often what appears to be damaged coatings is oil/film on the corrector. Corrector coatings--lens coatings--are very tough, and are not easy at all to remove if applied properly in the first place. Try a little Windex and Kleenex on that puppy. If they really are gone? Leave the corrector alone. Partial coatings will not hurt anythin'...
