As far as the pulleys and internal mechanisms of a window blind goes, how would I tell if a window blind is worth repairing?
From looking at videos on the web, repairing the internal works of a window blind is often as simple as untangling a cord that is mis-wrapped on a pulley or putting rosin on a cord to keep it from slipping. However, in those cases, it seems to me that the basic design of the mechanism may be defective - or, at least, not robust.
Perhaps an expert on window blind mechanisms has knowledge like "Oh that's a ...such-and-such.. type of pulley. Those never work well".
Eventually the cords on window blinds and drapery rods get so dirty that they need replacing, but that must be a specialized skill. I've never met anyone who can do it.
