Who Does Monitor board re-capping for a good price?

Like the title says, I was wondering who you trust to do a re-cap on monitors, and what the going rate is. I CAN do them myself, but I'm not feeling up to it (lazy). If there is someone that a lot of people use for this, then I would be interested in just having it done by someone else...
 
Which chassis? If it is a chassis I have a tube I can use to test, I charge $50 + parts + shipping (both ways) if it a common monitor. $100 + parts + shipping if it is an odddball like a D9200, Matsushita, etc. If the chassis has life but needs a rebuild, I can get it done in a week or so. If it has a major problem, then it can take a bit longer to resolve (if it's some oddball issue like Yellowdog's G07 with only red showing but no problem with the color circuit's).

Otherwise, Chad at www.arcadecup.com does monitor repair also, but you'd have to contact him as to pricing...
 
I've paid $20 - $25 before to have a cap kit I've supplied put into monitors by a friend.
It's not a big money maker at that rate- kind of a 'thank you'. If you start adding shipping to it, it gets out of hand fast.

The main guy that does it commercially around here puts in flybacks and other failure prone parts to justify the $125+ price, but at that rate I'd say you're better off finding someone selling a working/rebuilt chassis for less.

That's my take.
