Originals. He told me that others including the Chicago ones are not rebuildable. He also has guidelines on original. check with him, I believe he said at that time. If I remember correctly the shafts must rotate, and the shafts can't wobble. I had a box of old rusty ones, cleaned up them up with a wire wheel so i could see if the were marked AC, or CW. Sent him 8 of them to get 4 good ones back.


I believe he said only the originals and Stipes are rebuildable - check with him.
