UPDATE:
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Village Tinkerer!!! 45 minutes, and he had my pickleball machine working beautifully!! Such an interesting person to chat with as well!! I am so grateful!!!

-Sean

I have a pickleball machine that I disassembled and now I can't get it back together again. I don't think I broke anything, but that is a possibility. What sort of repair man should I hire to fix this so that I don't have to send the machine back to California for repair? Thank you in advance for your help because I have no idea where to start my search!

EDIT: Thank you all for your replies. I have PM'd Village Tinkerer and hopefully can get together with him. One of the adjustment knobs stuck, so I took the machine apart to fix it. Caused another bigger problem! I really need to remember my limitations when it comes to fixing machines. :-)

OH I love a challenge, send me a PM and I will see what I can do, I actually reassembled a 1965 Mustang that was a frame and 20 boxes of parts.... Yes it ran afterwards, and very well.

I have to ask? Why did you disassemble it? Shipping? Or problem? and is it still under warranty?

I actually bought it that way, the original owner passed away shortly after disassembling the car, turned out to be a very interesting project....now which box was a that bolt in?? I did have a lot of left over parts!

Makes sense. Don't know why but I was envisioning a machine that, some how, made pickleball. 3D printer, maybe???

If it is a Pickleball Tutor brand there are owners manuals available on line that have pictures of the parts and where they go. I looked for a video but no dice

Yes, it's still under warranty, but they need me to ship the machine to California! I took it apart because the height adjustment knob stuck and couldn't be turned. Bad move on my part!
