How did you learn how to repair it? Were you able to find any schematics, parts list or anything like that?
What is the most common repair? I have one that keeps getting the tray stuck at the bottom.
Thanks,

Sorry about the delay.
Basically I just opened it and took a look. My first repair was because an o-ring snapped. I super-glued it, but it didn't last that long, so I bought some. I ended up contacting them, and he just mailed me some spare parts. This was relatively early on (like first year) so he was quite responsive then. He did of course offer to repair it, but I didn't want to deal with shipping.
The mechanical design is quite simple so when you open it, it's not a big mystery. Be ware though! The arms that fall down when the tray is at the bottom, to guide the cards into the tray, is spring-loaded and a $£@#! to get back in, due to the small space you have to work with.
Most often, those arms get stuck in the shuffler and doesn't fall down and the cards don't end up in the tray, so that's my most common repair. The occasional O-ring snapping happens about once a year.
When you say, the tray is stuck at the bottom - how do you fix it? Also do you use top- or bottom feeding? Meaning do you remove the shuffled deck from top or bottom?
