If you’re up for DIY, these places offer workshops (one in New Hampshire, one in Maine):

http://oldewindowrestorer.com/index.html
And, though located near Rochester, consider calling Honeoye Falls Millwork:

You could also reach out to Femenella Associates and Riverton Restoration. If the project is too small for them they might have other suggestions.

thank you Seth! The more I think about it, the more I think restoration might be the way to go for me. Did you decide to work with Devin?

We’re in the same situation. I found this old post on Brownstoner listing some options:
http://forum.brownstoner.com/question/Bn87bnFNb7E=/restoring-weight–chain-windows
I reached out to Devin at Albany Window Restoration Company, and he’s very responsive, but you’ll have to wait for the next time he’s in the city.
