I'm not a repairman (professional or otherwise), but I've got to imagine, in some instances, it's more cost effective to replace out-of-round (or crushed) tubing, rather than try to repair it.

Does a large company like Meinl Weston (or Buffet, or whatever) manufacture their own tubing, or do they source it out from a larger supplier? If so (to the latter), it seems to me that the tubing must be available from another source. After all, these are standard metric sizes, aren't they?

Typo. I DISagree completely with everything you've ever written, typed, said, or thought. :x :D
I blame this on poor lifestyle choices and a rough childhood where you didn't get beef jerky when you really wanted it.
