after almost three years of owing my obs i think its time for a tune up. heres the story......
today app 06:00 hour i started to warm my bs up. first open the door and noticed that something was not right the hinges are off.. the door is not closing properly :( i droped her once when i first got her and it made a couple of hair line cracks above the temp slider.. so i guess the heat and cold got to the bs :( any one have a cabinet laying around for parts?

the obs is still working and i have all kinds of ribs in there as I type
