LOML bought a new shredder before I could try to fix the old one. The old one isn't that old, but didn't get the job done. She tells me to throw it out. Well, since I'm somewhat mechanically inclined, I can't see throwing out something if I can fix it.
It seems she was oiling the shafts of the cutters, and paper shards were all impacted in the movement causing a drag. So, I attempted to dismantle the head, and it looks like after 30 minutes it may take a while. Maybe I can clean everything out...maybe not. If this bit of maintenance will make it functional again my time spent may worth the effort.
So, is there a deduction to be made with making the decision of trying to fix it, or just pitching it?
