Re: Jumpin' In from Cambodia

What parts are you after? Consumables can be replaced with some generic parts. I am still part way through my rebuild.

I'm happy to be a test mule.

Lixianda, are they exact replicas if the existing unit or have you made them programmable?

Re: CRM250AR Rebuild

Knowing how some mechanics work/think, I'm not surprised at all if the spacer was recycled and used again.
