Leaking Exhauster Valves
By Doug Anderson

Hi Everyone!  Happy Holidays!  I have a Gulbransen player which has
become more and more exhausting to play.  I believe the exhauster flap
valves are the culprit -- they leak like mad.  I replaced the outside
ones, but it is only a little better.  I see there are inside ones as
well.

Would it help them seal better if I made them a little wider?  They do
not seem to seal well.  How do I get to the inner ones without tearing
the whole thing apart?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
