I want to add my 2 cents. I found Bill at the Home Fair in St. Petersburg several years ago. He was advertising repair and replacement of SS equipment. Not to bore you with a long story, I retired from military and they lost my SS. it suddenly showed up some 4 years after I got out - in a box with hundreds of parts. Bill, came by my house and picked up my stuff and repaired and refurbished for a very fare price.
Fast forward to last December. I looked up Bill to see if he had a sander for sale as I was building my grandson a christmas present and needed the sander. He told me he hadn't been in his shop for some time, couldn't remember how to put rebuild a sander but come on by. I did and Bill told me my request was the reason he got out of the house and into his shop. i had some problems with the sander and after the holidays I took it back to him as he wanted to rebuild it.
He took the time to review his notes and video on rebuilding the sander and after a week it was working top notch.
He looked and sounded much better. Walking better, and working on other SS items. He told me I was one of the reasons he got back int the shop and hasn't felt this good in some time.
A great guy - thanks Bill for your assistance for mew over the last several years.
BTW - he is also the one who turned me on to this site.

Hope you are beginning to feel better. You do a lot for us SS owners even though we may not all know that. Keep on keeping on!

I to want to add well wishes, Bill has been an inspiration to all of us. He was here in the beginning for me when I first got my SS and I have been listening to him and reading his advise ever since. Hope your hours grow and grow.
