I have a water temp gage (from MG) which no longer works, probably damaged
by my careless assembly.
Faced with the horror of paying $100 to get it refilled with ether ( or so I
believe ), I was wondering
if this is so hard to do without specialized equipment.
Presumably the gage measures the ether vapor pressure, so I suppose the
internals must be completely filled with ether
to give accurate results. Bit rusty on my physics here.
I suppose you can still buy ether, I used to use it a lot for model airplane
engines. Never sniffed it once.
Then there is the problem of soldering the brass bulb without blowing your
brains out.
Perhaps $100 aint so bad after all.
