Try the pop test to test valve tightness. If the slides pop with the piston up, they probably don't need replating. If they are discolored, it might be brass transfer, where brass becomes plated onto the pistons during playing. That's easily taken care of. Otherwise, to replate pistons will require removing the valve section so Anderson's (who will probably end up doing it) can true the casings. Food for thought.
