Well, now that I fixed the PVC problem, I found out my pump isn't working. Well, there appeared to be something stuck in the bottom of the pump tube. It was clear and small and looked like hot glue, which makes sense because I was working with hot glue around the tube earlier. I tried to fish it out with an unbent coat hanger, but it wouldn't budge. I heated up the wire and tried poking it, because I thought maybe if it was hot glue, I could re-heat it and it would move. Well, didn't work out. Is there anything I can do to fix my beautiful AT2K?
I have not performed the Liquitron mod (cx proved it doesn't do anything, and it's kind of useful in that it shows you if you have any air left or not) or plugged the pump. When I try to pump it, I get a lot of resistance and the pump is shoved back out about halfway when I let go of it.
Here's 3 pictures of the pump tube. If you can't tell, there's the normal stuff, that clear crap, and some black crap from when I heated the wire.
