I think both drives (I left one in the van) have the new style elbow. The
old ones are a pain. They only take a minute to check. I try to keep a few
of the new ones on hand, along with the other parts. I also had copies of
the RK05/RK11 tech tips, RK8E, and other training handouts not sold by DEC.
Thanks, Paul

For a working one, I don't think that's too bad. Hopefully the amber
plastic elbow in the filter air handler is still intact - I've seen
those things get really brittle. There are plenty of things that can
fail in an RK05, but fortunately, they are easy to work on.
Hopefully, he'll consider coming next year.
I should be back in the Midwest in plenty of time for it. Purdue is a
little under 5 hours from my house - not too far.
