Nikon lens conversions

Does anyone know if someone in the country is still doing AI lens conversions on older Nikon lenses. I have a Nikon 50mm f/1.2 that I would like to have converted so I can use it on my D80. It is a good old lens and great for using in low-light situations where you can't use a strobe.
Thanks

Perhaps one of the authorized repair facilities can do it. A list can be found at: http://www.nikonusa.com/Service-And-Support/Nikon-Authorized-Repair-List.page

or you could contact Nikon Service, directly:

http://www.nikonusa.com/Service-And-Support/Nikon-Authorized-Repair-List.page Try this page for repairs or information. I got it off another forum and put it in my favorites.

I've done hundreds of them but I'm not set up to do them right now. Here's a guy that does them all the time :
