Well, Richard, with more than a month with no replies from anyone who's dealt with it, I dunno if we'll learn anything. I haven't disassembled it yet myself, but will publish whatever results if/when I get around to it. I wouldn't delay any purchase decision waiting on those results, but...

Y'all, My seven-year-old Sunex 6602LP has been leaking up a storm, but still lifts and holds perfectly well. The seals kit has seemingly been discontinued for five years and NOS seal kits are not showing up on eBay. I don't want to buy a new replacement hydraulic section, which is 70% of the...

Thanks, Stumble -- That's certainly among the best advice I've gotten on this situation. I will definitely tout this and your services to the others when all of this comes to the point of making decisions. As it is, there's likely to be little or no movement on this for a few weeks (I hope).

Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread! At this point, the same issues are being repeatedly brought up, so unless there are any different angles or actual experience to be related, I think I will just wait and update the thread if there are any developments. Thanks again, Y'all. :)

How things "ended up like this"? My father passed away and my stepmom is the sole recipient. What my dad said he wanted and what the will states are two different things, so no matter what the "agreement" was, it's all my stepmom's stuff, legally. There's nothing "underlying" this except for...

Thanks! Agreed, we will need a legal arrangement. See immediately below WRT a loan. It might have been easy to miss, but I mentioned this earlier: Thanks! There are four bays and two lifts, and the building can probably contain a dozen cars without too much fuss. Agreed.

Damn, that really *****. I feel for you. That's quite intriguing -- I will have to look into that angle. Understood, and they're questions that need to be answered. That's a good idea -- individual cabinets make a lot of sense for the things that can be put in cabinets. While the issue of...

As I said above: answers to questions like these are the very reason why I posted in the first place -- because I don't have the answers.

Unless one counts buying/renting another shop, no, and that would be expensive in my area. There's no room in my smallish 2-car garage unless I turn it from a garage to glorified storage, at least on one side, which I really don't want to do since I've already maxed-out the space on my property...

You're quite the poet -- did you know it? :p Indeed, and he had a quite positive reputation in the two particular automotive communities he was active in. I'm well aware of all that. Two of us have had professional training and have worked professionally in the automotive industry, and one...

Thanks, Cardboard Man. :)

Thanks for all the sage and frank advice, Y'all. I've thought about a few of those issues already and appreciate the lack of sugar-coating. I would likely not be able to get a loan because I am not currently employed (thanks, Federal budget sequestration), but I have no debt and could buy it...

Excellent point, RJ. It might indeed not turn out well, but I'm not going to just throw my hands up and walk away. I'd rather regret it not working out than regret having done nothing.

Hi Y'all, After lurking here for over 11 years and getting all I have wanted to know from regularly reading threads and searching the archives, I'm finally making my first post! :eek: It's not that I don't like Y'all -- it's really an effort on my part to limit the number of boards I'm...
