About 225 from uncle max last time for me, but I believe it depends on if you need any parts or other special work. They come back looking and running like new.

Does "looking and running like new" include fresh chromate? Fred A

You don't call that greenish gold finish some rebuilders use chromate do you? ROFLMAO

All carbs come back from Uncle Max looking/working just like God created them. Call it what you will.

WE used to have an "expert" rattle-can carb-rebuilder amongst us. Man, those were the days! DD

There is a gentleman here in Utah that is certified through Stromberg. He may be a good resource. He may even be able to rebuild and save what you have.

I had Charlie NY do the Stromberg 97's on my '34 and '37 Fords. He did a great job on both of them and his service quick a reasonably priced.
