Well if replacing the gun is what’s needed then that makes it much less daunting…not easy but maybe within reach. So break vacuum, cut the neck clean, remove the gun and desolder from the base and remaining neck glass…then I have only a vague idea of what to do. I understand reweld the glass and pull a vacuum. What kind of material is the getter and is it flashed with induction heat? I know the vacuum needs to be very high but I have three lab grade pumps that could be setup in series. I also have a vacuum setup to pull enough to essentially freeze dry and preserve protein isolates, bacterial cells etc.
