<DIV>Bud,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are you talking about repair, or is it a total restoration? There is a lot</DIV>
<DIV>of difference in simply making it work, and making it like new. If you</DIV>
<DIV>are talking restoration, this is worth it if you can afford it. On the other</DIV>
<DIV>hand, you should be able to find a working mill for considerably less, it</DIV>
<DIV>just won't be like new and will probably have a lot of wear and probably</DIV>
<DIV>won't grind as efficiently.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is always a hard call, and usually depends on how you plan to use it</DIV>
<DIV>and how deep your pockets are.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ken</DIV>
