Plan on paying a LOT more than another 50 bucks before that Nak can begin to meet its specs today.

I'd much rather pay twice as much (at least) for a beat-up Nak that's been in near-daily or weekly use, as long as its head or heads aren't shot.

Having been involved in such projects recently - it all depends on who is doing work. If you can do it yourself, then you may indeed be able to do it for under $50 in replacement parts, if you shop smartly.

But there is usually fair amount of labor involved, so a hired technician will most likely bill you much more than that.

Thanks, you have helped me overcome the temptation.

  Inexpensive decks like that make sense only for someone who loves to tinker.
