<VV> thermister

[Edwin D. Lindsay]

 I just broke one off at the threads yesterday-I had soaked it for
several days in P B'laster and carefully worked it back and forth to
break it loose-it broke loose alright- the threads stayed in the head and
the rest of the thermister came out. Think super glue will help ?? <GG>
