Default Brake shoe grinder in Connecticut

I need to have my relined shoes ground. The place I used in the past is no longer there. Does anyone know where I can have this done near Waterbury CT. Thanks in advance

Also be sure to check with your local Model A and Early V8 clubs.

You could try it yourself. I line the inside of the drum with sandpaper and then take the shoes to it. It may take awhile and you need to be careful but they come out fine.
