[GreenKeys] Model 28 3-speed gearshift on eBay

[Steve Schlink]

Almost everything is worth more parted out ...

I've spent most of my life repairing things, only now to realize that an 
item that sells for $25 intact & working is worth $100 in parts.

So, do you spend $10 to fix it, or part it out ?

As for lathes, it's much easier to ship a bunch of parts than an assembled 
one. Or table saw, Shopsmith, TTY,  etc.

What to do, what to do ....
