I think starlets are getting to an age that there just becoming dog shite, I know mine is and I know another local member who is having nothing but trouble. Its mainly consumable parts on mine buts its seriously one thing after another at the minute and I cant see where its going to end. Id love to sell mine and get something modern, upto date with a bit of poke but I just cant justyfy getting rid with the ammonut of time and money i have put into it, and the shite prices they fetch now looks like ill just have to push throgh and get it to a reasonable working state. If you feel you can reasonably get rid now, id do it sooner rather than later because I can only see them getting worse and loosing even more value. Good luck with whatever you decide and i know exactly how your feeling about it....
