Thanks for any info.

Dennis,
My suspicion is your issue is with the cable assemblies and not the valves themselves. I made mine better with WD 40 for the rust and corrosion followed by a bunch of silicone spray. I pulled the basement wall by the convenience center and took the cables loose and tied them up high as possible, spraying down the housings several times an hour over an afternoon. They work pretty good now. It’s worth a go before you go under!
