$200 coctail drink. If that doesn't do it, they say it might be the plates. They say that in the event that one of the plates in my vc is warped that it is a simple matter to mix and match the plates from my two vcs until I get one with all perfect plates. They say that if the old vc juice is clear to light grey that it is OK but that if the vc juice has turned to black then the juice is bad and should be replaced. They say it is easy enough to check by removing the allen head bolts and looking in, and that to use blue loctite to put those bolts back on. They did not volunteer the availability of the brew until I pressed them on this issue. A regular VC rebuild is $695. They said the $200+ rebuild kit includes o-rings and that it would probably go OK, provided I had a taste for this kind of thing, except that I should take care to get all the air out of the VC--ALL OF IT--when changing the oil, which they said was somewhat of a trick. If we can have that juice analyized for viscocity and material it would be an advantage. Where should we send the juice Tim?
