the value of these things might have taken a huge hit given no one is able to get replacement parts from rik...

Other thank the ball/socket joint, every part is easy to order or make. Break it - take it out and draw it up, find a machine shop or a bearing catalogue, boom new parts. Even the joint could be done pretty easy if you do a good job reverse engineering it.

The next time I pull mine apart I will be making new shafts for 26 spline props, vs the current 19 spline.

These sold.
