All the parts you require the refurbish an auto advance distributor were available quite recently. I couple of years ago dismantled a Chinese or perhaps Indian copy and found that it was so well made they had even replicated 90 years of wear into the design! The advantage of electronic is that you don't suffer the point float/timing scatter that you do in a worn out unit, hence the cheap knock offs appear a good idea by apparently improving running in the short term. The problem is they are not all that reliable on a noisy 6V electrical system and cant be fixed as easily when they break down. I also did tests against a properly refurbished original DK4A and found absolutely no measurable performance advantage.
