Jose -
I admire your pursuit of thrift. I have learned over the years that there is a time to cut the loses and change directions. I would suggest that this is one of those times for you. Dump the old crap and save yourself time and expended energy. If the $ are so tight that using the 57's is a plan then I would find a second job and use the time for that instead of wasting it on the 57's.
JMO of course YMMV

have another day
