Has anyone had experience - good or bad - with the advertisers in the trade magazines that rebuild ignitors?

just buy a new Ram,$45,rebuilt is $25.
Most Compies will rebuild Ram but don't like to rebuild Fenwell.
I have my computer board rebuilt since cost $200-400 each,rebuilt cost $25-75 but not $45 Ram.
A company will offer you send a old one in,they will send you their new igitnor for $25 or 30,I tried,not a good igitnor.
Buy a new Ram is the way to go.

The question is what is rebuilt. I feel most of the time they swap parts from ones that are broken " beyond repair" they have received. Plus many times they probably get ones which are not bad and charge you to test them and give you a warranty. I've removed the covers and resoldered loose connections many times and replace a resistor. Now add freight both ways and then if you have a problem you have to send it back with freight again. You are now really saving money.
Bury anew one . Ram are a good brand
