Well, I put an end on her cord and plugged her in today, flipped the switch..... and nothing. Looked it over quickly and noticed there was a "fuse" screw cap on the side of the machine, so I unscrewed it, to find there was no fuse inside there..... and, so I did something stupid, and jammed a screwdriver in there to make contact and see if it would turn on.... still nothing. Oh well, can't win 'em all.
So, now I'm going to open it up, look for any obvious damage. Test the on/off switch... Assuming I find nothing I can easily repair, I will then gut it, and make it into a rolling tool chest :P But, this project is pretty far out on the horizon, I've got a couple busy months ahead of me....
