tragedy strikes!

it had to happen sooner or later, i suppose. my roaster is broken. the bottom half of my stir-crazy/turbo-oven roaster no longer rotates its arm.

most likely it's a dead motor, or a melted (plastic!) driveshaft. i can't see now because it's about 400F and I can't touch it. repairing it is one option, but the handles are already broken (and have resisted multiple repair attempts) tempting me to just get a new one for $30. the drive shaft cap is already fabricated, and that's teh hard part of assembly anyhow.
