[Scott Johnson]

Problem is,just try to get any commercial plating house to do cad these
days. pretty rare, because of the health hazards.  I would try substituting
electroless tin.

Electroplating is Electroplating.  You use gold for gold plating, Silver
for silver plating, zinc for zinc plating and cadmium for cadmium.  Any
electroplating shop can do that for you.  Try the Yellow Pages.  They are
listed under "plating" in the yellow pages here in Denver.
