Replacing the MFTS

[jake falk]

how clean are the wires that connect to the MFTS?  I had a problem where I
replaced the old one it worked (thats didn't work) just like before.  My old
one was also leaking.  I pulled it apart and gave it a good cleaning.
Probably could have still used the old one.  Just ask Bernie!
