Well, I have 2-3 bad oilers on my 1236. They appear to be 6MM. I have searched the internet relatively thoroughly, & have (for the most part) failed to locate any (at least any that are remotely affordable).
Fastenal lists them--went to the local store, & after 7-10 days of dinking around with the salesperson, I was told that their cost is $1.17 (not bad, I think); however, my cost would be $2.93, & I would be required to purchase 43 of them. Talk about sticker shock, & amazing mark-up.
Back to the net. I located a company in Long Island that advertises them for $1.00. I called them up, and was told that they were wholesale only; BUT, they may be able to work with me--Is this really a company in NY? Anyway, they called me back a couple of hours later and said that Gits only had one in stock, and that I would need to spend $75 (no per unit cost provided), and that it would be at least 35 days before delivery.
So, do any of you have any? Or do you know of a source?
If that fails, would any of you be inclined to go in with me to obtain the minimum number---Fastenal will not charge any shipping, & the cost for 43 was quoted as $125.99.
If any are interested, they would cost $2.93 each, plus $2-$3 total for shipping from me to you.
I have a faint memory that there are somewhere around 12-15 on a 1236. I plan to replace them all, assuming I can obtain some without mortgaging my firstborn.
