Hi,

my dummyload is leaky.
At the central conductor drops a small amount of oil.

So I tried to disassemble it and to tight up the letting through.
My 3/32-inch inbus-key fits but I´m not able to loose it.
It seems that the central conductor can´t be disassembled.

Would it be possilble to give me an advice?

Peter,
My termaline was a little leaky too, and it took me a while
to figure out how to take it apart. The secret is there is an allen
screw on the inside that you have to engage with the proper allen
wrench, and once you do this, you will see on the other side what
turns, and how it comes apart. It has been five or six years since I
fixed mine, but I remember I left in the original gasket, (I think an
"O" ring) and made the new one out of if I remember correctly, was
..025 thick gasket material. The homemade gasket was round, with a hole
in it, and when added to the original assembly, you will see that
after you tighten the allen screw, the assembly will not "spin" but
tighten up fast, and stop the leak. I'm sorry, but that about all I
recall, but it should give you a good start on stopping your leak!
