Hey guys,
I'm in the mood to rebuild the old orbot...it's one of the older ones...it's all rusty and the paint is peeling off. Looks nasty bringing in to a customers home so it's time to get cleaned up. Just started taking it apart this afternoon to get it powder coated. So...
While I have it apart, is there any other upgrades I should do? I heard there are better hinges for the handle and maybe an upgraded oscillating assembly with a bigger orbit?
And...for those who had theirs powder coated, how much $$ was it, and is there anything I should know about having it done (one concern that I have is having the threads in the parts clogged up with paint, should they be masked)
Any pointers with a rebuild is appreciated!
Just got a new pad driver from our buddy Rod at excellent supply, now I want to just keep going !!
Thanks ,
Joe
