Stop tap dancing around. Locate where the part is for sale, what it costs, if they'll ship it here, how long it takes to get it, and what he...
It's a POS because its a 25 year old system. I am half Italian, I can call Italian parts POS if I feel like it, and some rightfully are. ANY 25...
No, it's because I've been down this road many times before. And, almost every time I've tried to repair old junk it's bitten me in the ass....
