Fork crown repair

Due to a machine shop screw up (back in the '70s), my '73 Raleigh RRA fork has a crown race portion which was cut too small for an ISO Campy race (26.4mm). The fork crown measures ~25.96mm (according to my digital calipers). I either need to find a shop which can knurl this, or braze up the crown race portion and remachine it correctly.

Anyone on this board do this, or does anyone know of a shop in Chicago or burbs that can do either of these?

re: the original screw up; I had the fork replaced by the LBS because of an alignment issue with the original. The replacement must have been JIS size, as the Campy race would not fit on. The LBS was relatively new and didn't have a crown race cutter (NE Iowa).
