Hello, have a 275 watt ZW that quit on me, and with work & too many other projects, I don't want to dig into it myself. Sooo, can anyone recommend a thorough ZW overhaul shop closer to SD ? Shipping costs are a factor, with all other things equal.
Thks,

I can not speak for the ZW but I have a KW that needs similar treatment and in my searching, I think that I can buy a rebuilt KW for not much more than the shipping! of mine to the rebuilder.
PRRMP54 may be correct about buying a rebuilt one, although in SD I'm not sure you have as many options available as those of us in other parts of the country. If you end up having to ship it look into PirateShip.com for lower shipping costs. Good luck.
Can you get it to Denver ?

Mike, I am sure I could.
You can trade yours in for a reconditioned one with Kent at www.tranz4mr.com. Bring it down during the Rocky Mountain Train Show. Check out his website.
@trestleking - Another shop you may want to check with - which is reasonably close to you - is Caboose Stop Hobbies located in Cedar Falls, IA (319-277-1754).
@trestleking - So how did you make out? What was the ultimate disposition of this matter?

I got a deal on an overhauled ZW with free shipping. So the old one's up for sale but if it doesn't sell, - maybe when I retire next year I'll have time to dig into it myself.
