Need to get a Miraphone 186 fixed up

I have tried to sell my 40 year old Miraphone 186, 5 rotor Bb tuba and not had much luck on this site. A few people looking but not a lot of interest. I was not able to post pictures, only e-mail them. I have decided to keep the instrument and get it looking good. Some dents in the body, many wrinkles in the bell, the rotors do make some noise. New lead pipe and rotor linkage.
Can someone give me some advice on who would do a good job getting this old war horse looking good again. I realize it won't look like new but I would like to get it looking better than it does.

I live in south central NY state and I would consider driving a couple of hundred miles. Don't really like the idea of shipping it. It has enough dents.
