Well.. no....
Seller send me already the wrong items anyway, I think they are helpless here as well. They are just sellers..
The new machine may have numerous other problems, I found heaps of videos about them.. and I didn't want to pay 3x or 4x more for professional machine. If I found something second hand I would have gone for it, but, I was not that lucky.

Then...
First, what else to do in isolation?

Second, it is only my time that is really spent here, plus couple of bucks for additional electronics (which I already had in my drawers doing nothing), and a bit more for bearings ($5 each, some of them I also had in my stash).
And, this story may be useful for someone. Like, what to do in similar situation, or what not to do to get into situation .
