You're most welcome.

I still think a hydro sonic cleaning might do the trick..... should
you have access to a cleaner!

An old girlfriend of mine, wait, no, can't say "old.. " anymore, ex
girlfriend of mine took a part from my euphonium (baritone horn) to
her place of work (hospital) and popped it in the cleaner machine. I
could not believe how clean it was when it arrived back.

And too bad. It looks like that Dometic 182 in Seattle is gone. (?)

I still think that line looks like brake line but I'm too lazy to go
outside and measure things.

;)
