I would use the 55 gallon drum OF GASOLINE and burn it. The glued stack
Gulbransen is a pain to overhaul. I tried it, and failed. There is a
rebuilder in Antique Trader who advertises that Gulbransens are his
specialty, a William Gilstrap as I recall. However if the harp is shot,
forget it. It's shot.
