Just a guess, but when the folks at Waterford said "We can only save the chrome if there is chrome to save", I suspect they meant that if the existing chrome was too far gone (pitted or otherwise not salvageable), they wouldn't be able to preserve it; Waterford makes no secret that they don't like to rechrome. I've often seen resprayed Paramounts with bits that were originally factory chrome plated with paint over those bits because the chrome was too far gone.

Seriously, good luck getting your price. With the new Campy components, it should be worth that to the right buyer.
