I just got an answer from one of the repair shops. They indicated that for
slick magnetos overhaul involves a replacement of all components making the
magneto essentially new. The cost of overhaul is well like buying new.
Repair included contacts and an oil seal with an up charge if anything else
was required. That's about it.
