My tips for going to goodwill, bring 2 vortex discs so you can deprime any vortex blaster, because then it wont be primed for the drive home Geez, how far away do you live??? A couple more hours of being primed isn't gonna wear out the spring any more than the 2 years it was in someone's attic before they brought it to Goodwill and let it sit on a shelf for 2 weeks.

everything at goodwill has a reason why it was donated, could be broken, jammed, or just they didnt want it anymore. make sure it is not broken, or at least broken but fixable. Doesn't hurt to test it, but my failure rate for thrift-store blasters is about 10% or less. The vast majority of them outlasted the interest of their previous owners. All of the stuck/half-primed Diatrons and Kronoses I've found thus far have worked perfectly fine after simply Hulking-out on 'em.
