    I didn’t realize you were buying stuff to sell. I thought you were repairing folks stuff.

    No I pick it cheap or free , get them right...serviced ...clean em up and sell em .
    They are hand picked and I don't sell junk ....they are machines that with good maintenance will last another 10 years .
    My buddy scraps the junk I won't fix or sell and also brings me machines .

    Somebody please explain to this dumb Polack how in the hell you change this light? I've only dealt with the type held in with a rubber grommet, the ring on this thing is riveted in place.

    The shops in my area only want to drill out the rivets and replace the metal ring with a standard rubber grommet. Of course, most of the time, once the light is out, the shops then realize the plug is not a standard plug so they want to cut and splice in a new 3-prong plug

    You have to drill the rivets. Then replace them with self tapping screws when done. Or replace with the rubber grommet type
