Reliable Treadle-Vac rebuilders?

Hello all;

I'm looking around for a good shop to rebuild my original TV brake system. Looking around on the internet, there's a couple shops that specialize in rebuilding these units, Karps Power Brake Service, White Post Restorations, etc. My unit has a fair amount of internal corrosion so I'd like to send it somewhere that will do more than replace gaskets and valves. Has anyone sent their unit to one of these shops, especially recently? It seems many of the well established shops have changed management over the last 10-15 years and there's a lot of old reviews out there.

Thanks

Cal

I had mine rebuilt by John Stuart Ltd. in Stoney Creek Ont. 1-800-309-1995. Haven't crashed yet. www.johnstuartpowerbrake.com
