What goes wrong with such guns?
Probably overheated and then the resistor block inside goes skew and blocks
the melt flow path. While molten but switched off , a rod through the nozzle
hits something solid , probably ceramic of a wire-wound. When powered,
pushing a hot-melt rod in the entry hole, little exudes from the nozzle,
requiring greater force than usual, outer housing seems to have expanded a
bit as well.
When I get a new one , this one will have a PM, but in the meantime , if
anyone has been inside one before.

Fixing a Jubilee clip, while hot, around the nose seems to have fixed it,
presumably the heater block realigned itself, but time for a new one anyway.

Any of the original electrolytics or paper caps. found in an Ultra
Coronation Twin radio.
Not to be confused with a Jubilee clip, which is a worm-drive hose clip.

I prefer the simplest one, without any moving parts, where you just
push the glue stick through the barrel.

Here we would say "hose clamp" not "hose clip."
