Hello, everyone.  Haven't been able to call my dependable machinist yet, where 
the only issue I've ever had was when I asked them to ream some lines for me.  
Wound up with a cracked one that caused problems that you can imagine. 


Question is, is it more cost--and long-term--effective to simply replace front 
rotors with new ones from one of the Big Three, or to ask they be skimmed  by a 
quality machinist.  I feel those "bumps" when I slow to a stop telling me that 
the rotors have high spots.  Am suspecting the original rotors being 60 years 
old are tired and ready to retire.


Thoughts?
