I just destroyed a 15" transducer so with nothing to lose decided to try
and dis-assemble and maybe repair.

I started to use a hot air station but it seemed every time I pointed the
gun downwards it cut out.

Dismantled the hand piece several times finding nothing obvious but noticed
a reed switch  and pondered  its presence.

Finally it dawned on me that it was cutting out in the presence of the
magnetic field.

Anyone have any clues as to why there is a reed switch glued to the inside
of the handle.
