this one is a 90700 model. The more I sit and look at it the more
discouraged 
I become. The little swing arm is broken off. Looking at the left front 
corner of the variable section there is a shaft of some sort that comes out 
of the top unit and goes down through a grommet that is missing, just an 
empty grommet.  Something is rattling around inside and I have not had the 
time to take the plate off. Will do that tonight.

so, sounds like a total rebuild.  Finding that little swing arm will be a 
bear I'm sure.

but.. the price was right..  FREE
