Thank you all for the tips. I’m planning on resilvering the primary when funds permit. I ended up using a plastic bag and rubber bands to keep the metal bits dry and that worked a treat. Then I put it back together without marking the centre… Doh! Ah well, I can practice cursing more the next time I try to line up the holes in the tube with the threads on the cell in a poorly lit garage.
Now, if we’d just get one clear night…
Cheers!
