Lou,

Not wishing to appear rude, but if you have to spend this much time on a
10 year old model is it worth repairing or should it be written off as
beyond economical repair.

Dave,

You're not being rude..... Trust me, the thought crossed my mind........ but
it is for a good friend of mine - as a favor. I did tell them that "some"
parts are no longer available and it might be time to toss it. But, I didn't
want to just toss it without the ole "college try". Any time I ever needed
any help - they were quick to jump to my aid, so I'd like to try to return
the favor - especially now that they are blind - due to diabetes. Were it
not for that - it would have probably been handed back immediately - with an
I"m sorry. I waste valuable time on misadventures of my own - so I can't be
too much for the wear and tear for the little time I've spent on this to
date. I would much rather do this for a good friend than to lift a finger
for half of my idiotic relatives. I'm sure you know how that works out.

Thanks just the same for your reply.

Lou
