Is a Broken Morini 162e Worth It?

Post by Scrench »

I have a friend who left the battery in his pistol while stored, and corrosion ate the electronic board. He doesn't want to go through the hassle of finding someone to fix it or pay for a new board which he says is around $400. Would it be worth fooling with if he would sell it as is for around $200?

Thank You.

For $200, if you are not happy, you could part it out.

But, if you can't shoot the gun you have well, why bother.

They may be able to repair the board. You could send them a photo of the damage.

That repair place is in India. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

No need for further comment, I've decided to pass on the Morinin now that i remember why I don't like them anyway.

Just an FYI for anyone interested- we have texted, and emailed with Vinod Rathore of Mohan Radios, in India, in the past. He advised against sending only one Morini board for repair, due to shipping costs overwhelming the cost of the repair. BUT, he did suggest how to fix one of the boards we were having problems with, in-house. Mohan Radios has a Facebook page, and they are quick to reply via WhatsApp.
