Still stuck on the chopper cap not wanting to come off the housing. It appears the chopper itself is seized, won't turn when I poke at it with a screwdriver. Not sure if that has anything to do with the cap not coming off What are you calling the "chopper housing", do you mean the steel t...

Thank you to everyone who made a donation thus far. Enough donations came in that I went ahead an prepaid the hosting. It would be awesome if over the rest of 2009, a few more trickled in and covered that completely :-) P.S. if you made a donation and would like your profile to bear the "Board ...

Re: Paypal... over the years, I've used my sole Paypal account for ebay, donations from this board and the horn & whistle board as well as part of the shopping cart system for my wife's doll clothes business.
