inreeltrouble Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 well i brought it in to work ( gotta love gov. jobs at work!). and found that there is only one tube inside that is bad. they are only 1/8" tubes and there are roughly 50 of them so i am thinking that a little solder on both ends of the bad tube to seal it off i might be back in business atleast for now...
