Need vintage espresso machine's brass boiler replated food-safe

+++++++

I am refurbishing for my personal use a vintage espresso machine from the 1970s. It has a brass boiler (about 7" x 6" -- smaller than a gallon paint can) whose interior nickel plating is gone. I would like to have the boiler replated with food-safe plating, so lead won't leach out of the brass into the hot water.
