There is no extra special knowledge needed in restoring rare distributors and starters and the like that a local shop cant perform along with an individual overseeing that the correct parts and dated ,numbered pieces are used . Any shop that works with aluminum can get the case looking like new and they wont even know what an 837 is anyway, send out for your own dated diodes from a catalogue.send the pulley and fan out to get replayed and a local rebuilder will charge you 34.00 to restore it and then buy yourself a cz stamp. Youll never haver to worry about losing it, having it swapped,or anything else. You can certainly do thye same for distributors > I had Joe Delorenzo do a bunch for me years ago and i got it back the next day. I carefully cleaned it,bought new parts,a new vac advance with the right numbers and i bought a 1.00 bottle of paint for the paint dab. if you cant do all the work yourself you can surely be the general contractor and be safe and save money. Just be forwarned that most rebuilders will sandblast your aluminum cases with 200psi so be careful to state what you dont want. John Pirkle does outstanding work,you will always get your part back, his prices arent real high,but the 8 week plus turnaround time is the only negative but im sure hes very busy man.
