Just purchased a thermo from a fellow 914Club member and it appears that it does not work? I've done the hot water test and the thing does not expand at all? It appears to be in good shape so I was wondering if these can be repaired? Guidance is appreciated!

someone tried to fix one for me, but no go... you would need to braze it, but when you heat the thing it expands more and more, then coolr and contracts much too fast for the solder to hold... good luck...
call HPH when you give up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) he has them for a good price... |

Considering the price of a new one, it would never be worth the risk of having one mess up. They should even be replaced when they get old....my opinion
