I know to be careful with the crank and track system, and the one I am getting is in need of some repair work there already. Are there any things that have popped up that y'all were not already prepared for?
Also, any tips on disassembly for cleaning the gantry? It's pretty dang filthy and the engine bays had mouse poop in them(part of why I am getting a pretty sweet deal), so any tips from experience? Are there parts that I should absolutely not try taking apart? In particular the door hinges or the crank mechanism. (Geez, I almost feel like a soon-to-be parent making vague requests for advice on kids...)
.
Be very, very careful with mouse poop... it could carry the Haunta Virus. No joke.
It's very fragile. The red guns on the gantry, the steps on the side of the gantry are fragile.
My lift gear is broken and won't raise or lower on it's own. I would probably not even try to raise and lower it with the crank.
I built a rolling platform for it to sit on because it's super heavy on the gantry wheels.
