Default Small Machine Repair (Pickleball Machine)

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?

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

Can't wait to see if Villagetinker will fix it. I love his McGiver attitude and willingness to help others. Please update us if and when it works again.

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!
