Now had chance to get the bobbin rewound and tonight refitted to the armature and rebuilt the mag. Fitted the easycap as per instructions (2 mins) and tried it, wow what a spark, hardly turning over and a good spark from both leads.
all bearings are good, but are not expensive to replace anyway
so bobbin rewound approx £110 seems to be average price
Easycap £13
slipring £21
a bit of work, but I should have a good mag for many years.
