Here is a MPS that doesn't hold a vacuum. Looks like a rebuilt unit too.

After heating the epoxy with a heat gun, it is scraped off and the plug is screwed into the cover. The threads are carefully cleaned so the plug screws back in.

Excellent photos.

What kind of digital camera are you using?

So why wasn't that MPS holding a vacuum? Are you putting back the same diaphram?

Looks like the paper gasket and the big o ring weren't sealing. Trying to finish that MPS tonight as I read all the funny posts.

Oh, the shots were taken with a Nikon 5000 without a flash. DaveP, I wish I had a stash of good diaphram!!! I have two or three left.
