ACE Generator and Metroplex (in TX) both come to mind. I sure there are others listed on the packard org web site.
Metroplex is one company I have worked with before. Very knowledgeable and willing to take the time to explain all of your options over the phone. I recommend the rebuild vs the repair option. It will come back like new... Gar

As the front generator bearing stays with the timing chain when you remove it, you'll want a shop with the special test bed to allow bench testing. One shop that makes a specialty of these Dyneto units is AER in Michigan.

Hi,
I had my generator transformed into a "gener-nator" by Don at this place: http://www.gener-nator.com/index.htm Everything on the outside looks stock with a one wire hook up 6V positive ground just as it was but on the inside it's an alternator. I have had a great experience with Don. He rebuilt my starter as well and they've been perfect for years. Hope this helps, Crin

Ok, contacted Metroplex, Jason at AER and Don at Gener-Nator....awaiting responses. Does anyone know what a "fair price" is to have these units rebuilt? It is a Owen Dyneto CG678.
Thanks, Rich

Depends on the needs, can be anywhere from trivial and routine to very extensive, rewinding fields, repairing armatures, etc.

I think mine was around $450. Like I tell my wife, it doesn't matter what it costs, it's Packard money... Like monopoly money... Lol...
