Is Lester’s a reputable place?

Be patient. All the guys are digging around the garage for their ten foot poles.
I have purchased two radios from him. Both purchased more than two years or more ago. They operate just fine and haven't had any issues with either of them.
Both radios are Stryker SR955's, both are in a couple of the trucks that I have.
Folks either like him and his products, or they don't ........
I would purchase from him again if I was looking for the type of radios he sells.
Now to clarify, I did not purchase all the bells and whistles accessory options that go along with the radios.
I’m looking at the President Richard. Just wanted it peaked, tuned, aligned, freq conversion.
Although I haven’t done an 11 meter conversion on that particular radio, the mod info I’ve seen consists of soldering a single jumper wire to get a wide verity of bands. Forget about someone doing a so called “peek and tune.” That radio was designed to cover a very wide frequency range as is. The golden tweaker crowd won’t find any pots or can adjustments inside to screw up on that model, and I wouldn’t suggest anyone spreading or compressing any coils either. I would simply ask the dealer to add that jumper, nothing more. Other than that, it’s good to go.
I have a Magnum 1 I bought used that was done by him. It's a great radio. My own observations from his video's is he is very proud of his work. He loves his hot glue gun. and his watt meter is very very very generous.
Lester isn't out to defraud anyone. He'll deliver what he shows, in my experience.
He is all about "added value". Or, maybe "added price".
You'll have to decide whether or not his enhancements are worth what they add to the radio's sale price.
A comparison between what he wants for a particular model and what a discount dealer charges will reveal how "proud" he is of his added "value".
But that's his specialty. Plain-Jane stock radios are not.

He's an upstanding dude. He has a wealth of knowledge and training. He's an honest man trying to make a buck, but he isn't gonna screw you over. I trust him. I bought an old NOS radio from him years ago. I can't remember what it was, but it developed an issue. He fixed it up for me and was very reasonable. We even chatted about our military exploits.
he took the time promptly answering any email questions I had in detail

I have a Galaxy 959 B that he did that I bought like new from someone. It has a never ending expansion kit installed and a few other upgrades. The radio is awesome. Has worked flawlessly for over two years now. I have gotten many compliments every time I used it.
