I just got mine back from this shop and the work looks great, unfortunately, his customer skills are very, very poor, I will never us him again. I've never had a business tell me I was "bugging him" and "silliness" before

I bought and 837 from Bruno years ago, turned out to be a restamp (verified by Pirkle)He took it back and returned my $$

Nearly same scenario here Sully.
Bought it from Bruno,sent it to the late Pirkle Sr.
Pirkle Sr. authenticated it as a re-stamp,before even turning a wrench on it.
When I told him I got it from Bruno,he contacted Bruno directly,sent it back to Bruno from his address for me that day,and my money was later refunded from Bruno reluctantly.

Local vendors guys. It is NOT rocket science!

I have a local guy that could do the internals but not the finish. Are these places tumbling? I have a bead blaster.

I think a bead blaster would be fine, Bruno cleared mine - keep it from oxidizing

A client of mine was restoring his early 50's Austin Healey or something like that-can't remember what it was and he took the aluminum case generator to the local rebuilder. They fixed it but when he got it back they had put the case in a bench vice and put huge gouge marks in the case..needless to say he was not happy.
