You could do your own if you have a good torch set up?, if the original is in good shape just heat the entire tube until the lead solder is wet, then wipe it with a folded rag dampened with water, you have to work quickly! long strokes in an orderly fashion

If the tube's original finish needs to be removed along with rust/etc, sandblast the tube clean, then polish the tube with sandpaper to about a 400 grit finish, to re-coat it in lead solder, you'll need to dip the tube in Stainless Steel flux (hydrochloric acid)prior to tinning it with lead solder
