Recently snapped 3 perks from the top (13 perk) section. They broke off clean from the top, where they were secured. I have seen pictures of someone else's TORO7/13 which was fixed from a problem like this. Does anyone suggest any repairmen to help out? I am either going to try a local glass blower, sell it for cheap, or try to trade... I don't know yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There's actually a thread going like this right now with a circ; you could have searched this I bet. The general go-to answers are grunge-off thoroughly and check in with preston at SGW, or even send it back to the toro camp. Easiest repair is to just seal those three holes I think.
Lennon Glass FTW
lennon can pull this off, seen him do it before :)
3rd for lennnon, but SGW might be able to pull it off as well...not many people like to deal with broken perc trees..you could also send it to toro but there are so busy you would be waiting for awhile...
I saw a inline/13 repaired by lennon that looked pretty clean. Looked like he went in through the perc chamber wall, sealed the holes in the 13 arm and closed the wall back up
Im getting rid of my 7/13. About2 months old, orange label. Can get you name/date pics if your interested. Perfect condition other than minor surface scratch on back of tube. Scratch is about 1 cm tall.
Don't think this is a for sale thread man...Quote:

Austin has a lot of good glass blowers for fixing broken tubes....in case you wanted some help around here...

For the sake of not derailing this thread anymore just please don't bother replying. I wont be.
tool? dude ur a fool u have no respect!! u should know better than to try to sell ur tube here!! and no im not a mod and no i havent been on this site that long but i know not to sell glass on this site unless its in the "glass market" that i do know and that i do respect but obviously ur stupid ass cant!!
*cough*quitbitching*cough*
but i've seen a 13arm toro perc with one broken arm, and lennon just poked a hole in the glass wall, right in front of the broken arm, and just went in and removed the broken arm and sealed the hole shut, so the perc had 12 arms. i dont know how he'd feel about doing 3...but preston doesn't fuck with broken trees.
Ahh good to know. Good to see the thread on topic too...
I'm looking to contact Lennon for a repair, how might one reach him?
I think you can contact Lennon on TC forums
Anywhere not on TC? last thing I need is another forum in my life :p.Quote:

Haven't heard a bad word about Lennon yet, and I saw the inline/13 he repaired. It looked about as clean as a repaired bong can look, which is saying a lot considering the type of repair it was. He does go in through the perc wall and seal off the busted arms, and he makes it look good.
G'luck!
So just by any chance do any of you know Preston as far as giving out his email or contact info or helping me get in touch with him about fixing this tube of mine.
