You're most welcome. I still think a hydro sonic cleaning might do the trick..... should you have access to a cleaner! An old girlfriend of mine, wait, no, can't say "old.. " anymore, ex girlfriend of mine took a part from my euphonium (baritone horn) to her place of work (hospital) and popped it in the cleaner machine. I could not believe how clean it was when it arrived back. And too bad. It looks like that Dometic 182 in Seattle is gone. (?) I still think that line looks like brake line but I'm too lazy to go outside and measure things. ;) Neil.
