Great jobs oascom you are doing very good at servicing reps! “It’s always better to service a rep”, yes, look at how much oil there was everywhere around that poor 2824, I suddenly thought about pics you posted in the past!

I guess it's just a matter of luck with the movements. I got few that were super nice, clean and we'll regulated/oiled and also few that were just so bad that it was better to just replace it.
New parts arrived
Ha! I just got a few of those cases from harbor freight. They’re great deals and can be used for all kinds of stuff.

Yeah I saw those at harbor freight but I have them from Amazon
Haha I stopped by there during their Labor Day sale (they literally have sales for any damn reason) and saw that was on sale for $4 bucks or so. It’s a solid case for storing parts. I use mine often

Usually they make their sales seem to suggest they are closing their doors. Constant liquidation or all inventory clearance type stuff.

Hahaha! I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking that. They have a “clearance! Everything must go!” Sale about once a month.
I love it though. Their stuff is crap but you get what you pay for and they usually hold up pretty well. Just don’t buy anything that needs to be charged from there. Lol.

Pat just did a very difficult Clark crystal replacement. Amazing work, sanding the gasket as well, to bring the BP crystal height to gen spec. Cannot praise him enough.
