Reconditioning and Updating Screwdriver from 1987

Our customer contacted us about reconditioning one of our Screwdrivers that we had built in 1987 for them.  The customer will be using this Screwdriver in a different configuration and needed new tooling.  We had the customer send us the Serial number of the screwdriver.  This enabled us to review how the original unit was manufactured.  We also re The customer sent in the unit to us, which allowed us to provide them with an accurate quote.  The customer also requested that the unit be converted from an SD-107 drum feeder, into an SD-110 style minus the feeder bowl.  The customer would be adding the feeder bowl on at their location.
