For translators, you might want to try some of the fansub groups out there. I know Live-Evil, Digital Panic, Hero Legends, and ILA all specialise in oldschool. ILA is a ripping group though so I'm not sure if they've got translators. I'm not sure about Hero Legends. I'd say Live-Evil or DP are your best bets there. Other great groups to consider are The Triad, Anime Kraze, Solar, Froth Bite, Lunar, AonE and NLA. All are the best of the best.
There's a fansub comparison forum here: www.anime-planet.com You have to log in to see it though. Lots of fansubbers frequent it. You might also be able to pique interest is Hongfire.com.
I could possibly be able to time the subs as I've messed with that before, but I'm no pro. I can't translate either.
I'll cross post about this on my friends website. Maybe he'll know something.
