Remade a new straight shaft, arm cuff and leg stand all out of aluminum. Pin point modification, peltor mod and rewired, adding heat shrink tubing to the coil wire to protect the wire insulation from fatigue as well as other parts vital to water proofing. OBN...I can't thank you enough for educating me on how to do these mods and repairs. Because of you I don't have to buy a new machine or send it in for repairs. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions to guide me through each of my repairs and mods. I couldn't have done it without you and I thank you sincerely! image-649974674.jpg Sent from my iPhone using TreasureNet

Looks great! :thumbsup: I see gold in its future, Grasshopper. :laughing7: (If you're old enough you'll recognize that Grasshopper remark for what it is and how it relates to learning from the Master. And if not, then man I'm getting really old!) :BangHead:
