Thanks guys for some good advice!! I agree with what can I buy for 30 bucks? I also can see having a lot of not so good equipment laying around one day, that I can't. I can wait to do the repairs until something better comes up. I'll track the add and if it doesn't sell over the next month. I'll ask if they'll lower the price a LOT. If so then I'll pick it up and fix my other gear. If not, stay on the hunt and add the 30 towards something better!!!
