I need to fix a leaking sight glass on the 1940 10EE. Do I need 2 or 3 cork gaskets? I looked through my parts stash and found conflicting evidence - it looks like some used 2 and others 3. The third gasket is the smaller cork gasket between the plexiglass disc and the round metal cover. All of them used two larger cork gaskets on either side of the painted flat plate with the line. Square dial 10EE's use a different style sight glass, so the question pertains only to round dial machines. Actually I am not sure when the changeover occurred to the later style sight glass. The difference is pretty obvious: the early sight glasses have the words Oil Level stamped on the cover, and the sight glass itself is a flat acrylic or glass disc. The later sight glasses have a stepped design - the center sticks out through the metal cover and the back of the sight glass is indented. I think the later sight glasses are polycarbonate.
