Joe, It is a bit of a challenge to find a rigger who will do it but you should be able to find someone who will inspect and re-head the original rod rigging (North east rigging systems in MA did mine 4 years ago https://www.nerigging.com/). The rods will generally form cracks and fail at the ends where they are cold forged into a ball - thus cutting them slightly shorter and reheading should be nearly as good as new rods (fatigue of the rod itself is probably minimal). That is what I did and only one upper and the forestay which was wire and damaged anyway had to be replaced. That being said, it is probably only marginally cheaper than replacing it with cable rigging, not sure - in 2020 it came out to about $13000 to rehead the standing rigging including a new roller furler, new turnbuckles and other components, new custom SS mast through threaded rods (you end up breaking the old aluminum ones to get them out). However, I did keep the rod rigging which has both weight and stiffness advantages. Of course you could get all new rod but that is even more $$$. You might be a bit far for North East Rigging Systems to travel in MD - but maybe give Kevin a call as he might know someone in your area who does that type of work.
