E6000 Repair, Refurbish, Restore - a gift from Jill Dixon



Some photos of the repairs.

In pieces
 I hadn't realised I hadn't put in an update for when I pulled apart my new e6000 and put in new flow combs. 

Some photos of what I did. It's not so long ago that I don't remember. A month out of my life I didn't get back.

Photos to follow. the back bed was frozen. It's working well.

Needles and pushers removed
