Jerome,
I'm in the middle of restoring my S1 heater valve and the thing that was
wrong with mine was the aluminum plug that closes it up at the bottom was
rotted away. I machined up a new on and I'm ready to put it back together.
The thing I'm waiting for is I would like to zinc plate all the external
steel parts first because most of the plating is worn off. The plater wants
$75 minimum charge per batch for plating and the few parts on the heater
valve sure don't make a batch.
I have a picture of the heater valve all apart and laid out. If you would
like a copy of it I'd be glad to email it to you.
