Anybody here have any experience with the AC Gilbert #433? Mine came in from eBay and boy, its a handbasket! The front needs new springs and the contact strip. Then the wiring was jury-rigged........ Anybody have that touch to make her run again? I've tried repairing it myself 'til I almosted dropped it! Caught it in time, the motor made it too after breaking itself loose from the wiring. No damage done. Who wants to repair this guy for me?

LOL! Not too much now! Some of these "professional tech guys" wanna charge out the butt just to look at it! That old cloth wire is so frayed and dry it started glowing and smoking!
