At the Selby Spring Fling, there was an owner who rebuild his MK IA
valve and
said it was easy. He would charge $10 to rebuild any sent
to him. Lost his
name. But what does he know?. Just another Hoosier
hick...like me.

Hello Erich,
That's
the data I was looking for. As you rightly put it, if repros are
available,
the lack of rebuild parts, the "sealed systemness" and the
tediousness of it
all completely argue against it. Thanks for taking the time
to
write.

Nobody I know makes those parts. Would love to know if they do.
It is
extremely tedious to undo the crimps in the casting so that they can
be
redone after reassembly.
Sometimes you find that the conical metal seal
surface at the bottom of
the valve body is corroded and you would have to
machine the surface down in
the bottom of the hole.
Now that the mk1A type
valve are available as a reproduction, I will never
take an original apart
again.
