Has anyone on the list built a Pismo from parts alone.?
If you've got one to sell, you usually make more money selling it in
bits than whole.
So, I think, it works in reverse, and you'd pay more in bits.

I used to think the same thing.
However on eBay there seems to be a glut of parts that go down to the
wire unsold at even dirt cheap prices.
Not as many people are interested in repairing these ever aging
jewels so parts go down to the wire unsold even at 99 cents. And
So therefore as stated;

I am more interested in the pitfalls of selecting the correct parts.
I am not familiar with Pismo construction or the variety of
components. Differences in Wallstreet construction have come up ij
the last few days on this list and i was wondering if a similar
situation exists with the Pismo.
It might take months or a year to get all of the parts for assembly.
But it might be a fun way to arrive at having an otherwise still
useful and capable machine that I otherwise would not buy unless my
income gets a boost.
Low cost and low shipping fees will be key here. But are for nothing
if I buy the wrong parts.
