I suspect this machine was either dropped as you say, even though I don't see any signs of it, or it's been run ragged and worked on by someone who wasn't smarter than the machine. I'm thinking a cave man with a rock and a big club.
All the internal screws that you'd turn to adjust things are really buggered up.
I'm hoping to find a cure without resulting to brute force or euthanasia (parting out). I will continue to study the poor pictures in the manual, perhaps it will begin to make sense. I can only hope.
