But in reality, we've (read beest, professional engineer) tried a few things (hairdryer etc) and have a few more drastic ones on the list, but we thought seeing as there was an expert on board.....


(isn't youtube a marvelous resource, though? beest and hector used it last month to change the clutch on the washing machine and it's like new now!)
Hector, you man now.

After seveal hot, dish-soapy baths and a little brute force, all slides and valves are free! :D

Thanks, Ali, Limey et al.

Excellent!

A little TLC will keep it going for a few more years. It's probably better now (or at least once you reassemble it) than it has been in a year or two.

Just remember, when you put it all back together, there shouldn't be any pieces left over...

I can tell you now that a tuba full of water weighs a LOT.
