I got one for a guy in Finland wanting to restore his mutilated one. It took six months but it came out excellent, and like Matt says, the cost was low (about $60 as I recall 2 years ago). I did call them once to see how things were going after about 4 months, and the lady there said they have a lot of backlog but they would certainly get to it. She was sincere and came through. Maybe give them a call if you haven't already.
