[Fluesheet]

Has anyone else had similar problems with P2k units or did I just get a lemon.
I own 30+ year old Bowser and Mantua steamers That have never had Issues like this before. At this point I am thinking of fixing it one last time and putting on a table at a show. It can be someone else's problem.

Hey e-paw. I bought one of these for my father probably 7 years ago and he has never had a problem with it. I've always considered it one of the better plastic (steam) models - very smooth and quiet.
