Assuming you still have a td04... if it is worn out (which I doubt) its cheaper to just buy a good second hand unit. You can get them for under $250 these days.

Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
