I think I need to get my Tasco 4 1/2" mirror re aluminized. Being that this is not an expensive instrument, I don't want to spend a lot of money.

Can anybody recommend a low cost recoating service?

There are quite a number of them, here are a few. Most will throw in the diag for a small fee or even free if you send it in too.

At that size it might be cheaper just to buy a new mirror. You could get a 4.5" f/8 Orion mirror for $39.95 -- or if you want to take this opportunity to upgrade it you could get a nice Discovery mirror for $80 too
