Hey all.

Ive got a classic valve thats in bad shape. Its serial nmber is below 30,000. So its pretty old. Well the last day I used it something broke inside the valve. Near the power tube. When I shake the valve you can hear something shaking. I have no idea of what it could be because I cant get that far into the valve. I haven't used the mag in 2 years. I bought it used from a guy who used to play Pan Am circuits back in his day when mags were the fastest around. Maybe that contributes to it breaking, being so old and he didnt maintain it for sometime. Im basically woundering what you may think the part is, how much to fix it, and if its exspensive should i just purchase a new classic valve? The on/off disc is also missing and some o-rings need replacing. Any help would be awesome.

It might be that you have a PT spring in your valve and that broke and is shaking around. Take off the PT tip with a coin and shake the valve to drop out whatever is inside of the air chamber.

Rebuild it per this diagram:
