Ryobi R-150--fix or scrap?

Hi guys,

I bought this Ryobi used a decade or so ago, and only use it a couple times a year. Recently found that the collet sleeve is broken, and no longer available from Ryobi. Searched all over the net and found what appears to be an aftermarket collet in the UK for about $50.

My question is, do you think it's worth putting money into this machine, or would I be better off buying something else (used) with better features/support, etc.? It seems a reasonably built unit (quite heavy compared to my equally old plastic Craftsman unit ;)) but I know very little about the world of routers.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Thon
