Bendix-Scintilla Magnetos

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows whether there is a contact phone# to reach the company that makes the magnetos. In the service manual the mags have to be inspected every 100 hours. Is there nothing else that has to be done? So far the mags are working fine in my C337B model and the AME isn't sure if they have to be changed, overhauled, etc. No AD's noted as well. I was going to call the manufacturer but can't find any contact phone/info.
Any help is appreciated.
Tim

Continental Motors owns Bendix Magnetos. You should have the mags serviced/overhauled every 500 hours. There is no AD just a service bulletin. I suggest that you send them to Magneto ER, they do a fine job on service.

Tim, I notice it says Canada...where are you located?

If your mags are working well I would check the mag timing and carry on.

Do you have engine monitors? Multi cylinder EGT/CHT is the best way to know the health of your ignition system.
