Have you counted labor when you estimated this?
The output xfmr alone is $40 or so if you buy Hammond 125 series.
A person who will do the restoration will work for american money. And now that it is being seriously discussed that Mikey D patty flippers must earn over $10/hr....you probably counted parts only when you said $125. The power tranny alone could be half that plus it is heavy and the shipping is exensive.
Unless someone does it for free charging parts only, I tend to agree with Klondike's estimate.
And NJ is one of the expensive parts of the US.
