How much do you want to pay for a good part?

When I started in a machine shop back in late 60's I heard the man I worked for tell a customer that want a unrealist price for a job "I can go broke sitting on the poarch with a lot less effort"

He waited to long someone else bought it. But I thank you for tring to help him.

He took off both covers and it still made noise. He said ways could be seen with table at extreems and they looked ok.

I called and told him your thoughts. He is going to check it out tonight. Will let you know what he finds out.
THANKS

I have never been around a edm, but if a new commer were to start what would be some ground rules to understand before buying. No jobs for it so wire or sinker either one just want to start.

just in case,
The inverter has ran for a month now with no trouble. Except for tool change speed being adjusted at control (it over shot detent). Total cost part and labor was $1,327.86.
