The original hehr vent in Chucks Waggin was in good shape but the PO had sealed it with black jack and some other goop that I can't even identify. So, beings as how I wanted to reuse it I began the clean up project. Using a combination of paint stripper, thinner, scraper, wire brush, steel wool, tooth brush, dremel and lots of elbow grease, I won. I didn't take many before pictures but I will share what I have both before and after. The only thing I am missing is 1/2 of the plastic slide that goes into the operator arm. Before:    After:    This is my favorite stripper, I have used it throughout the project and love it. Yep, got it from ACE!  |

I use Kleenstrip also. Great stuff. Man you sure did a number on that baby. Sorry I don't know what to tell you about the part you need. VTS? I don't know what it looks like. The original ones I usually deal with have two knobs instead of a single crank. And most of the time they are not worth fixing so I have a small pile of them.

Good job!
I have a few arms here if someone knows what yours looked like. Some are pretty old.

OK I'll look. I don't think those pics were posted before I left this morning so I will be back over there tomorrow afternoon and will see what Bob has lying around.

I have a favorite stripper too, but she's useless on the camper.

You guys all seem to have strippers. I need a dish washer.... My last one ran off with my best friend. I sure miss him.
