Damaged Coatings on My 6" Refractor

hello everyone,
I recently had all of my equipment stolen and then recovered by the Police.
Everything looked like it was in perfect condition, but I really did not get a real good look at the optical coatings on my lens Assembly, its an old 70's Tak APO lens cell re-machined to fit on my current OTA.
Looks pretty bad too, can anyone here recommend a reputable CO. that can re-coat my lenses and re-install them?
Thank god I kept the New Achromat lens cell and tube flange that my scope came with!
I guess my photos are now going to show some Chromatic Astigmatism or a really bad color balance if I use a Minus Violet filter, thats how it used to be before I acquired and installed the APO cell.
Dennis
