i have a buddy with some NOS...correct old stock stuff...depending on what you are wanting...hes reasonable...and its really hard to get a restored on with no pitting...ive seen dozens of restored ones..and time was not good to them before the resto..and you just cant get in the valley to get it all out...if you want i will put you in touch..
