Gotta love those big Weedens

I also had questions regarding the S/V.  Mine was in
pieces but looked complete - but how to reassemble it
wasn't obvious.  As you can see from the photo, I fussed
till it looks like a normal S/V and it worked as it should. 
I'm sure it was originally some obtuse S/V setup a Weeden
engineer thought up when hung-over.

As for mine, At least the coarse threads it screws into are
in good shape.  It looks like hell, but I'm not taking it out
just to pretty it up.  I don't want to stress the inner threads
as I've read they are prone to stripping.

I added a photo of the S/V and a video of it running.  Gotta love it.



Happy steaming,
Wayne
