Anyone had their heater valves rebuilt recently ?
Can you recommend a vendor ?
Thank you for your input.

Google Old Air Products in Texas.  One week turnaround, been around forever, extremely polite, around $100 including shipping.  That was two years ago.

Just an update to this old post.  I just spoke with "Delco Joe" & he is still in business rebuilding these Ranco heater valves. I am shipping my valve to him today. He quoted  $135.00 & a 24 hour turn around!  Very nice guy to deal with!            He thinks Jim Tucker may no longer be in business because many of his customers have tried Jim first & get no response.
I thought "Delco" Joe might rebuild distributors as well, because im looking for a rebuilder for mine.  He told me his nickname is due to his selling of  electrical switches. If you know of someone,  please let me know.  Thanks,Bob.

Chris at Chris' carbs in Dayton has a distributor test machine and rebuilds them, along with carburetors.  He did my dual Rochesters for the 55 and the distributor.
