magneto repairs

Had a visitor today who sent a Lucas SR (possibly the simplest magneto ever made) to our friend in N Devon. The postage cost him £6. Eventually he got a
quote for £226 +VAT and a request to send £20 to enable his magneto to be returned if he did not accept the quote. Please reach whatever conclusions you wish. ttfn

Tell him to send it to our friend in Wellingborough. He did one for my Gk2 at less than a third of your "quote" and did an excellent job!!

For those in East / South England Ted Salmon in Burnham on Crouch will do the business. many years in the RAF ( Wartime ) repairing mags taught him his trade but do not hold your breath for a quick turn around, and if you visit him allow half a day!
