Depending on your nature, going with the lien option should work...or simply show up/track him down with the expectation you will be paid (or even) once done.
$400+/- may be quite a bit to you, however it is not much to a company or many older people. If the money is not available, consider holding on to work-related materials of comparable value until the cash becomes available. He does not expect to see you again if he is like this...good luck.
