What do you pay yourself per hour for "refurbishing", and does that include repair or you buy already working old equipment and just clean it up?

I don't -- that's why it's a hobby. If I had to earn a salary from this, it wouldn't be viable.

Most of my machines come with at least some defects. Some are ready to go in a few minutes, some take several hours or days. I mainly do it because I enjoy it. I try to not lose money on parts or other inputs, besides my time.
