Who has tackled rebuilding their own Marelli distributor, and to what level of success?

I can find a few core candidates on eBay and the classifieds. What makes a good core?

There are rebuild kits and parts now. I've found a couple videos and tutorials. The mechanical seems reasonable. I have access to a media blaster for cleanup.

What I don't have is a Sun machine or way to check the centrifugal advance when I'm done. What are the other pitfalls that make sending one out for restoration a $500+ job? What is the worst case outcome if it's messed up and put on an engine? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Thank you.
