Well, on occasion even the good manufacturers have a lemon so you can't
completely rule out there was an assembly problem...or that it somehow
got damaged in shipping or the like.

I'm not sure whether it was shipped fully assembled from factory or
whether required some user/dealer assembly; there's another place
something could have happened if so.

Or, could have been mishandled anywhere along the route--it's a large
machine so opportunities there for somebody to have slung a sling (so to
speak ) under the drums and lifted, for example, bending a shaft or
the like.

Just all kinds of possibilities besides perhaps just a simple oversight
of some sort but that is impossible to diagnose remotely without the
expert from the factory.

Did the elderly gentleman indicate it ever functioned properly--or would
he have even known?
