I’m looking for someone like Pete C here in east cost of Florida. I need have my Skil 100 inspected and serviced.
I’d be surprised if there was any other resource akin to PeteC. The guy is a ‘‘wizard’’ when it comes to Skil 100’s.
If anyone would know of a source, it would be Ricky Carrol. Also a possibility is the guy at “Mystic” Jim Dunlap. Sold him a grit barrel a few years back. You’re not gonna find anybody like Pete on either coast. A good Power Tool" shop can take them apart, clean, check connections, replace bearings and brushes. Had that done once years ago on the Central Coast of California before I knew Pete. Bearings and brushes are basic for a good power tool shop. My question to the owner of the shop at the time was “Had he ever worked on a Skil”? When he. Said “Yes”. I took a chance with him. He admitted to me that he wouldn’t install new blades, because he did not have the Skil gauge used to line them up. At the time I didn’t either. Admitting to me he wouldn’t and couldn’t do the blades convinced me.
