Dynamic propeller balancing in CO?

I've recently moved to Colorado Springs, and I'm trying to find places for two services:
  1. Dynamic propeller balancing
  2. Portable oxygen tank refill (Aerox system) - field elevation here is close to 7,000 MSL
Does anyone have recommendations that are less than a 2hr flight from KCOS?

I've asked the locals, and thus far I have no leads. The reaction to both is about the same.... dynamic balance? no idea; we don't ever do that ..... oxygen? who needs oxygen at high altitude?
 
I believe Redline Propellers at KAKO is able to and I'm planning to look into it at some point. Post if you find O2 with prices. I rented a big aviation O2 tank from general air for under $30/mo but I'm using less than I thought and may just want to pay for a fill if reasonable.
 
Thank you for the reply. I'll give them a call on Monday. See, it's been difficult to find propeller balancing, because it's like trying to google "What mechanic shops have a 1.5-in socket?" Could be everyone; could be no one.

For O2, my backup option is the local FBO. But at $90 for each refill, that gets expensive quick. I'll post here if I find one.

Yes, I used the folks in Akron to balance my RV7 a couple of years ago. Nice guy, He took his time and I think he did a good job. I am happy with the results.
