Re: Water in register key?

CTs and Series 9s have an integral speaker tube with a large hexagonal head on it - the early CTs had a much larger diameter thread but the speaker tube was integral with it and machined to a standard diameter where it protrudes into the bore, so a fair mass of metal is screwed into the top joints on the early CTs. The large thread on these is the same as that of the two part speaker tube that had an outer cup and a central push-fit speaker tube so condensation would collect in the cup as it ran down the sides of the speaker tube.
