Great writeup!!!

I always like it when I have an option of rebuilding a part rather than just replacing it. It saves money and it teaches one about how the system functions.

When I "blow" the pistons out, I use a piece of 1" x 4" (its actually 3/4" think so plenty of space) between the pistons so they hit the board instead of each other.
