It hadn't worked in years, and I took it home for about five bucks, in the cabinet. The right price for a project.
Yeah - I would agree with that one. Sit yourself down and take some time to decide if it is a good one or not. I love it when someone does that. Then I know they are going to be happy. What scares me is people who come, hand me the money and leave. Yikes what are they doing?
