Oops, meant to post it like this.I've got a couple here (microstar & marathon 5000) both still work okay but I would like them refurbished ,( chuck & bearings & cleaning) . I did a search here and only found garland and the link no longer worked . Anyone know of a reputable place to send them ? thanks in advance . View attachment 38113
Do you want me to read the future from your palm?
It seems you misunderstood my post to gatoothachoper , I meant to say that I could read you palm for the future ( as a palm reader ) and nothing to do with handpieces,I'm not sure your reference , but in my true experience when I’ve had handpieces rebuilt they never ran as true as new. When I can get a new Ram Tech 2000 for just over 100$, why fix.
Started out myself with that same microstar that Chopper has. I wasn’t cheap and when I had it rebuilt I think it cost 4-5 bills. Within a year the control box went poof ! Tossed it and when Ram since.
Probably should edit above and not posted.....my two cents.
You're probably right ,,,,,,,,, It's funny, I still have the mindset from when I had little money and had to have stuff rebuilt because I couldn't afford a new one , haha .,,,,,,,,,, & I do agree they never run as smooth as a brand new one .I'm not sure your reference , but in my true experience when I’ve had handpieces rebuilt they never ran as true as new.

So you mean you have the A doctor, the B doctor and C doctor, ? etc. I had a doctor who preferred the D3 almost always ."I use Palm readers all the time to figure out exactly what shade the Doctor 'REALLY' wants when they ask for an A3"

You could buy from Garland repair kits such as bearing wheels, carbon brushes ets, and do the tuneup yourself,With the low cost of backup inexpensive handpieces its not worth the cost to ship and repair old higher end handpieces. Years ago I finally gave up on continuing repairing two U Power handpieces. Bought $900. NSK and still haven't needed any repairs. Estimated cost to rebuild Upower was between 4 to $500. each, and that was many years ago.

I made sure to not include my palm in the photos, I don't want Tayeb to possibly be giving me bad news
