I don't know where you are based, but in the Marches there are numbers of people who do dynamo, and starter motor rebuilds. There is a specialist in Leominster but of the lads in Hereford I've used Auto Electrical. Never more than a week, and full rewind and new bearings. If any specialist is quoting the sort of figures you mention then next week I'm going to set up a dynamo rewind agency, double the price the lads usually charge, add 100% commision and still charge less than some "specialists." These men are primarily concerned with agricultural customers, which is why they have to be quick and reliable as well as reasonable price. Last time I picked up a dynamo entertainment was had by pretending that a 6v dynamo was so small they couldn'd find it anywhere. And yes I'm one of the many forum contributors who find LEDs a wonderful way of sticking to 6v.
