This sounds like another good reason to save some of those old hacked
up carcasses (carccii?) - strip out the caps, gut them and fit them
with new innards, have them onhand when one goes bad. I know, few
people have that kind of spare time, but we can still pick up some
parts units for stripping as needed.
