I’d be interested in that sight glass with thermometer if you end up parting this out. If you don’t want to part out, do you know which one this is?

I was diagnosed with frozen shoulder several months ago. PT and stretching have gotten me back to 90% movement. I honestly wasn’t sure I would ever be able to throw a baseball or swing a golf club again. It took a couple surgeons and an mri to determine that there was no real physical damage...
