Neil,

I just saw your last post with the Samba link. Good thing too. As I
was cleaning the Breather Tower I kept coming up with odd looking
brittle bits. There's supposed too be a cloth diaphragm in there....
guess I'll head on over to a FOV (friendly online vendor) to check the
price of a new tower or read the rest of the thread to see what folks
have come up with.
