My dad's famous saying was if it isn't broke don't fix it or do anything. Your customer apparently felt the same way!!!
Re: another one
I think you might find a good parts source. 
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.
