You get what you pay for! In this case it is probably a "rebuilt" that is a used starter with fresh black paint. There is a good Bosch factory certified rebuilder in Seattle that charged me about $100 each for both a starter and alternator rebuild, and he does it right. Check with Bob at Precision Electric, 425-486-5400. He rebuilds primarily for the trade, but will work with anyone who finds him. I have used his services for over 10 years on my MGBs too.
