Wega Mini Nova Rebuild
Thank you very much. I really appreciate the exact help you provided. I am clear that I can use the machine without the dispersion plate/screw. I will make sure to measure the threads and match accordingly. NB: This is a seasonal project and it is time to leave for a while. I am a snowbird spending time in
