Please call me Bob., Mr. Alexander. It worked fine. After it depressured the stock stayed together while I wrapped some rubber tubing around it. I think the BP unit needs a little work though. I wonder if my wife will notice a valve in the rubber hose so I can stop it from bleeding off. On second thought, I'll buy her a new one before I mess with it.

Ok 'Bob'. :) And is Ms Alexander....but please call me Lee. There is already a little valve to slowly let off pressure on manual sphygmomanometers(bp cuffs....am trying to keep up with Mr. Moran:)) You can pick one up at walmart for under 10 bucks. And am smiling here cause I was able to inform one of you guys of something.....:shock:. Blessings, Lee

Sorry about that. I get used to guys being the vast majority on this site.Thanks for the tip. I'll check that out next time I'm near a Walmart. Can't wait to see the salesclerk's face when I ask for a sphygmomanometer valve. I'll tell the wife it's an upgrade.
