Just curious, but how did you determine that Alex fixed the mandrel? I don't see any post that indicates that progress was made in straightening the mandrel...

I would think that brass musical instrument repairers would be a good option to consider - they are often repairing dings and dents in brass tubas and trumpets, and would be experienced in the fine detail required for a job like this.
