In shopping around for Aloris CA stuff, I came across this Aloris CA tool post listed as "frozen, for parts or repair only". Do to the price, $157 total to my door, I'd thought I'd gamble that I could fix it.
After placing the order I had a touch of buyers remorse. What's wrong with me ? Am I the patron saint of wrecked tools ? I swear, if its frozen, broken, or otherwise scrap metal, I think: Yeah ! I gotta have that !
As you guys tend to hang out here, I'm guessing it might be a common condition.
Reminds me of a conversation on these forums a few years ago. When I suggested the possibility of repairing machines for resale. Swatkins said, "become a hotdog vendor, go sell hot dogs, you'll make more money."
Knowing the time I put into some machines, he ain't wrong, lol.
With that in mind, as a fun exercise. I figured I'll see if I paid $157 dollars for a 21 lb paper weight. And how much time I may put into it for victory or defeat.
Edit: #%*2@^* sob, can't edit title. Now I have to look at that everytime I post, lol
