Radiator leak

It's a long while since I have been on this site! My 1925 Rover 16/50 has a brass nickel-plated honeycomb radiator. Alas, it has developed a leak, apparently not from one of the cells but from a crack in the surround. I tried repairing it with epoxy, in vain. I cannot see precisely where the water emerges. I live in Walnut Creek, about 25 miles east of San Francisco. It seems that many of the radiator repair shops that existed 15 years or more ago have closed. Can anyone suggest where I might take the radiator for repair, within the San Francisco Bay Area?

Dear Tom,
Many thanks. I have removed the radiator (quite a task since the headlights are mounted on it) and am taking it to Anywhere Automotive in Concord, CA, next week, but if they cannot or will not work on it, I'll try Alouis Auto Radiator.
