Years ago a man by the name of Isaak Meizenberg was involved in restoration
of Leica cameras and did gold plating and exotic recovering of Leica  bodies
in various skins. As I recall Mr. Meizenberg was 72 when I read about his
work.  He worked mostly in restoration of SM Leicas.  Following is his
address.
