Steve,
        Check out Circuit Technology Corporation, formerly known as
Circuit Repair Corp, at www.circuitnet.com. They have everything you
need in plating solutions/systems and fab repair supplies. They have
been around forever, and specialize in just such stuff. They also have a
200 page fab repair manual that you can download in PDF format, or they
will send it to you free of charge on a CD along with other info.

        If you're looking for a simple, self contained plating system,
try Hunter Products at (908) 526-8440. They sell a self contained pen
system (Micro Metallizer) that eliminates the mess of chemical bottles,
have also had good luck with it.
