Zack, glad to hear all went well.
I'm in gorgeous Evansville IN for a couple days trying to setup a machine with some of our sub-assemblies, but apparently not the important ones. These are single serving 12oz plastic bottles blow molded neck to neck. Our trimmer separates them and finishes the neck for sealing and then capping.
See
www.lectroengineering.com and go to MTM and then trimmers. The 2025 model is similar to this clone of our very old model this company brought over from one of their Poland plants.
Sorry to digress.
Sounds like you have a plan on parts for your M3W.
I'm interested to hear about your Slingshot, as I'm sure everyone else here is too.
Have a great week.
