When I was a teenager I worked in a sporting goods store.
Part of my job was cleaning and repairing fishing reels and
guns. Our price list was [back in the late 60s]
Disassemble, clean. inspect and reassemble $10.00
Let you watch, $15
Clean, inspect and reassemble the parts you bring in $20
Listen to the story about how your kid took it apart.
priceless or $30

compensate the

misc parts

you just make

to pilots.
