Concerning Aleks question-- As to statements that the hole is generally too big for this to work, one must check the size of the hole before judging the size without seeing it. Disassemble the lever style key and look at the size of the hole. Compare it to the hole in the barrel of the Amado w

Take a piece of brass or nickel silver rod and grind a taper on it so it forms a plug in the hole. Cut the plug so it is about 1/16" long Make sure the plug only goes in the hole about the thickness of the tubing (.016 "). Mask off the tube around both sides of the hole with strips of w

Hello Aleks, Yes, it is possible to change the type of water key from the lever type to the Amado type. The success of this repair depends on the size of the hole drilled for the nipple of the lever type key. There has to be enough surface for the amado key to be well soldered on for the convers

Hi Alex, That wouldn't be a problem although I don't see much advantage in it. We would probably use a low-temp silver solder since you might not have much surface to work with. Bob Osmun -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aleks Ozolins Sent
