Well, I would take the washer and the tubes and take what you can get. You will need to clean up any rough edges or burrs on the stuffer and reassemble and you should be good to go. If you need anything I can machine anything you need and send it to ya. Your old tubes are probably still good but they have either some foreign material like carbon embedded into the stainless or its just a poor quality stainless. The old tubes can be passivated if you can find some pickling paste. If you get the new parts I'll think you'll be ready to go..As for LEM.....I wont recommend them no more. My experiences with Cabelas it would not have been handled like this...
