VintageToolMD: On-Demand Remote Disassembly Consultation Service
A marketplace connecting vintage tool owners with experienced restorers via video call for real-time disassembly guidance. Owner books a 30-45 minute session, shows their stuck component on video, and a certified restorer walks them through the exact steps using their specific tool, advising on solvents, heat, impact timing, and safety. Restorer diagnoses the seizure type (rust, paint, thread-lock) and prescribes the safest approach. Session is recorded for owner's future reference.

Value Proposition
Expert eyes on YOUR specific tool in real-time, eliminating guesswork and fear of damage. Cheaper than hiring a full restoration service ($30-60 vs. $200-500). Faster than forum posts (instant vs. 24-48 hours). Restorers earn $25-40/session (high margin, flexible scheduling). Builds trust through video proof and recorded sessions.
