with me. Look at the cards. Three of hearts. King of diamonds. The
next one will be the indication. Five of spades. There it is!

More on the continuing saga of the inherited compressor........

Finally managed to track down an exploded view of the compressor and
found
out that I am missing a couple of reed valves........now I know I can
buy
them, but am wondering if I can just make a couple.

From what I understand they usually are comprised of spring steel, so
todays questions a

Typical steel gauge?
Are they a flat unit or do they have curvature to their shape?


Any thoughts on this topic would be much appreciated....thanks. :-)
