$50 bucks doesn't even cover the parts, or time.

QUOTE(914forme @ Aug 23 2020, 07:10 PM)  $50 bucks doesn't even cover the parts, or time. Like I said, I like DIY and am a CSOB. But I should be clear. That $50 is only for getting the odo spinning again (in my case, no parts required - just a good squeeze on the pot metal gear.). Honestly, someone who has done a few of these should be able to do it in a half hour. For a first timer, an hour or two. A complete restoration is a whole different story. |
