Default Magneto service @ 500hrs

I have an O-360-A1A with two standard magnetos. Is the recommendation to remove these and send them out for service at 500 hours? If so, any idea what a reasonable cost would be, or where to send them ?

Thank you in advance... !

Default Yes, 500 Hours

Yep, 500 hour service is correct. Aircraft Magneto Service can do it for you.

The engine I got had two Slick mags when I bought it. I sent them to Aircraft Magneto Service, they did the 500 hour, and replaced a bunch of bad parts. Meanwhile I replaced one with a Lightspeed. I figure I now have 1000 hours of mags, which should give me enough time to either be confident enough in the Lightspeed to install a second one, or maybe by then the P-mag folks will have sorted out their issues.

Aircraft Magneto Service was 2.5 hours at $100/hr. a couple years ago for Slick. Really great guy and fun to chat with!

And P-Mag has their issues worked out - Marc doesn't.....

What a timely thread, mine are at Aircraft Magneto Service as we speak.

I decided to send mine in at 499.1 hours just to be safe.

I sent mine from Georgia to Aircraft Accessories in Oklahoma and had it back within 7 days. Cost about $350 for my one mag.
