[AT] Is everyone okay?

[charliehill]

Will I destroyed one once trying to solder it but I did learn something from 
the experience.  There is a pin hole in the float that has one little dab of 
solder covering it.
You must remove that solder and open up that hole.
Then clean, flux and solder the two halves together.  Once you are finished 
and everything is cool solder the little hole back up.  Otherwise the thing 
will implode on it's self.  Don't ask me how I know.
