Lance,
I've been rebuilding mine for two years... but not for alcohol. I'm altering it to use the small butane canisters. It is an involved project that involves cannibalizing two butane stoves (available for about $15 each, made by hordes of Chinese craftsmen) and lots of Dremel work. The two years is because the parts look so good stacked up in my basement. And I haven't found that round tuit I need to complete it.
I would recommend against rebuilding a pressurized alcohol stove, but that's my preference. I know that there is an Origo that's a drop-in replacement that's purportedly a LOT safer.
