Default Magneto overhaul

Good (inexpensive source for magneto (Slick) overhaul?

Can't make up my mind if I want to go electronic, so for the first little bit I think I'll use exiting mags. They had a 500 hour on them within the last 150 hours, so I'm comfortable for the time being .

Thanks,

Dave

Default Mag Overhaul Recommendation

I was negotiating for a used mag and decided to call the company that had performed the last mx on the mag. I called Magneto ER in Arkansas (they advertise in Trade a Plane-see advertiser's index)

The last work was performed in 2000. The man immediately pulled the invoice on the last overhaul, asked for a moment to retrieve the complete records, and then described in detail all that he had done years before. He offered to inspect it again for free and then issue a fresh Yellow Tag on it!

I was super-impressed with knowledge and service level!
