I sent him three bird houses 5 years ago.
I got them back in my hands completely functional & gone through,meaning show quality restored,dated diodes,CZ stamps,Fan & pulley attached etc.,7 weeks later.
He & his son used to be regulars at VetteFest,twice a year.
In those days he would pick up or deliver your components to you at the show,if you desired.I don't think he does that anymore..

The last time I spoke to John the turnaround time was either 6 or 8 weeks. I cannot remember for sure which one it is. Cost is $170.
