Not a new arrival but resurrected from the dead!
The Grinder Story! Neighbor a couple years back tossed it in the scrap pile because it stopped working his CC Co V or MC replaced it under extended warranty protection told him to junk it! So he did! Sears Service Said Beyond Economical Repair?
I nabbed it "with permission" When I got it it WAS DOA! Went in the attic! I Figured it would get to it later! I got around to it about April.. Looking and diagnosing I found that the transistor solder connections broke poor design for vibration! I re-soldered the terminals added an independent heat-sink and zip-tied it to the PCB so it will not vibrate it has ran like clock work ever since! Nothing like turning another persons junk to a working useful tool.
Now can anyone I.D. the piston on the top?
