Rather than service machines I'll only give away, the goal being to get them out of the house, or machines others have left with me to fix, it makes more sense to service first those that I want to use. Or does it? Maybe I should fix other people's machines first, although I'm doing it for free? What would you do?

Cricket, I usually try to balance them. One for me, one to sell, with the goal of getting them all done eventually. I would NOT fix other people's machines for free. You'll burn out doing that. I like to have something fun going for me and one that I can re-home and perhaps make just enough off of to pay for parts I need for mine! Its a hobby after all! It should be fun.
