Can anyone recommend someone who could be willing to help get my K1C back up and running - I need to replace the tool holder - (I have all parts). However, due to my disability, I feel uncomfortable breaking down further to remove the axies

Hi. Your location is likely to be an important question, here. :)

Did you purchase this locally, in which case the retailer might be able to point you in the best direction?

What sort of repair person do you think you might need? Someone a bit techy who can follow YouTube repair videos, or a specialist of some kind? Do you want/need them to come to you or do you want to arrange for it to be delivered to a repair centre? Do you have packaging for it if it needs to be couriered?

Location might help aye - Auckland/Waikato

It was an FBMB Deal and has been working perfectly, but due to fan pins breaking on the PCB and then the head clogging, it became a nightmare, haha.

Someone with common sense who can just follow how it unscrews and goes back together - at the end of the day it's a teardown just to remove a bar to slide the tool head off and then reverse

Can deliver Auckland/Waikato

I’m in the Waikato, and while I don’t have experience repairing a K1C specifically, I’m reasonably handy. I also own one myself. I’d be happy to be a pair of hands to work on it with you if that would help? I’ll learn something about mine as well!
