I was late to see this thread, but I am the one that had my FR64S refurbished/greased/rewired at IKEDA/Japan, in Japan.
They rewired using IKEDA silver wire.
Total cost was just under $900.00, which included shipping both ways.
Very glad to see that AnalogMagik provides the same service much closer to home, as I’m in the US.
I have not yet done any close listening to the newly rebuilt arm, as I don’t have all my system set up due to remodeling.... that seems to go on forever.
Just sent my SP10 MK3 off to ’JP’ yesterday, to have him go completely through it.... then will mount and try the arm.
