Many of us have Albion apron terminals, still available here for a buck or so a piece. Our centurio Edge Gibbons partially tinned mine, and then I perked them up using the pattern from a Vindonissa find. I used a center punch from a hardware store, and it took me about 3.5 hours to do six of them w/o any prior experience. Below is a pic featuring an original piece from Albion, a Vindonissa pattern, and the result of my unskilled labor.
