Shimano Dura Ace 7800 Hub issues

[Chapeau! Velo]

I have some very nice DA 7800 10sp hubs that are as rough as a badger's arse. My LBS looked blank when it came to rebuilding them citing spares availability. Are there any recommendations on specialists that I can send them too?

Re:

Have you opened them up and looked inside? Am I right to assume the bearing race are shot if the LBS says they need spares?

Re:

Correct, LBS has opened them up and they need a couples of spares kits that their supplier says are obsolete. I'm struggling with 7800 being obsolete just yet when 1950s stuff still gets a look in from specialists! However, in the 'modern' world they probably are!
