I'm not aware of anyone else doing this work.
I just had a cartridge from an RCA-Seeburg changer rebuilt by West-Tech a few weeks ago. The turnaround was amazingly fast, and the cartridge works very well indeed. It looks fine to me; the only difference I saw in its appearance was the replacement of the rivets originally used. It does not matter to me if they replaced the rivets with screws.
I think your only alternative is to try rebuilding it yourself using Syl Vanier's instructions here on the Phorum:

I plan to try it myself sometime using Syl's instructions. I had West-Tech do this one for two reasons: I wanted to play Christmas records on my Magnavox Regency Symphony, and I haven't quite worked up the courage to tackle such a project.
