Seek Un-glued Gulbransen Action
By Dan Armstrong

Hi all,  I figured it's about time I contributed a little rather than
just doing a quick read.  I'm also fishing for parts.

I'm currently embroiled in the rebuilding of a glued stack Gulbransen.
In the early 70's I rebuilt several of these and they worked just fine,
no leakage problems that the application of a little shellac couldn't
cure.

Now, I've got two glued stacks and neither one of them will cooperate.
They appear to be leaking internally (the passages inside the box are
leaking between each other).  This problem manifests itself when I test
one pneumatics operation the neighboring valve also moves.  This
doesn't happen with every pneumatic on the stack, just a two or three,
but it only takes two or three leakers to make a Gully stack not work.

The question of the day is: Does anyone own a rebuildable orphaned
screwed together NOT glued Gully stack that they'd care to part with?
Please contact me if you do.  It would help me greatly.

Thanks for your time,

Dan Armstrong
Pine River, MN
