"Bosch rebuild"

[james accordino]

If that's the case, I don't think Bob's gonna be too
happy.  The few Bosch factory rebuilds I've seen(never
bought one myself; too pricy) had MANY new parts.  All
the yellow cad. plated bits were new.  The prep and
paint were excellent.  I really couldn't tell them
from new but for the box and the sticker.  I would be
HIGHLY suspect of anything that came dirty, rusty,
corroded or without ALL the small parts replaced.
Including all fasteners.  I always thought that's why
they cost 3x as much as the "lifetime warranty" trash
from Aut*z*ne or whatever.
