I don't think the opinion is correct either.  Neither of the places I
called has seen the unit.  I think that they just don't want to bother with
anything where parts, if needed, are not available directly from their
usual suppliers, or anything that is old, and that in their first opinion
may take a little extra attention to detail.

But I have a couple of other options, before I undertake to pull it myself
and follow instructions.  I just have long experience with "easy" jobs for
others being harder to do for me, and I more often than not have to redo
work over and over to get it right, get impatient, and so on.  I realize
that others sometimes have that experience, too, but my love of mechanical
work is perhaps less than some others.  And I don't want to risk damaging
an irreplaceable part.

I do think it is probably extremely dirty.  I don't believe it has ever
been serviced.
