[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 49879, member: 2806"] Unfortunately, this may be out of someone's control. What got me deeply immersed in magnetos myself was many years ago sending a "highly recommended" magneto repairman my Gold Star's and Vincent's magnetos. I gave him explicit instructions not to bead blast the cases, and to leave the original tags on them. They came back bead blasted and with new tags he had stamped himself, along with faulty replacement condensers. When I called him to discuss these matters he told me he remembered what I had told him but in his opinion they looked better the way he had rebuilt them. The lesson learned: if I wanted something done the way I wanted it done (in this case, a magneto that looked the way I wanted it to look, and that actually functioned after having been "rebuilt"), I had no choice but to do it myself.
