[Mgs] Repair or replace Radiator?

[Andrew B. Lundgren]

  Anyone have any experience with radiator repair they would like to share?

I have never done it, I think you need to pressurize the radiator to 
15lbs or so find the leaks then patch all the leaks by soldering them.  
Wash and repeat until they are all gone.

A new replacement for my '70 from Moss runs ~$200.

If I have to take the rad anywhere to have it repaired, I am guessing 
that the labor at todays prices will go up toward the replacement cost 
pretty quick.  Do they still re-core radiators?

I may be able to do it myself, I remember helping my father do it as a 
kid, but have never done it myself.  I remember him fighting for quite a 
while with a few stubborn leaks on the old International Travelall.  My 
dad is still around and would probably be willing to help me repair it.

Anyone have any tips/suggestions?

Thanks!
