Will it fix?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Reminds me of the old translation joke.

If you translate the expression "Out of sight - out of mind" into Russian then have the Russian translation changed back into English you end up with "Disappearing Lunatic".

Johnny4428:
Thanks all for advice regarding repair. Nigel good advice on cleaning etc, unfortunately I don’t have an ultrasonic cleaner but will give it a good clean with brush and maybe acetone or thinners.
But I must add that I have a used one on the way thanks to NJ AND T. Takes the pressure off the repair job, but will still be perusing a repair on the broken one.

SteveW:
What about the low temp aluminium brazing rods on eBay?

I’ve used them before and they are pretty good.

Johnny4428:
That’s a good shout Steve, I actually bought some of them a year or so ago but haven’t used them still. There’s probably not many degrees separating melting the repair rods and melting the housing though.😳

Laverda Dave:
It's the degree of fear Johnny. Oh I'll give it a little bit more heat.......pop😢.
Worth a try though if you have them anyway and you have a spare on the way and hopefully Roo will go into full mass production with his new ones👍
