Nice late model 1450! Check with the OCC sponsors for replacement parts, and place an ad in the
Wanted section of the forum. You should be able to find all the parts needed, friendly help and suggestions here at OCC. You can't beat that with a stick, especially when it's 100% better than the service you will get from the home-cheap'o box store, whom I feel sorry for those people who cut corners and play the angles to save two cents.
