Repairing an Extractor

My Little Wonder extractor has developed a leak where the bottom is welded/braised? into the sides. Basically, they have seperated for about 4-5 inches and and created a leak.

Is this repairable? It doesn't seem to be welded, so I have no clue what type of shop would even do this work. I also don't know if the cost would outweigh buying a new tank from Dadant. (assuming one is available) Any thoughts?

Thanks!

If no welders avaiable try your muffler repair place, most will braze it up for you, then there is the "gift to mankind", JB Weld at your auto parts store and at some Wally-Worlds.

Only three things need too repair things with these days:

Duck Tape - If it moves and ain't suspposed to
WD 40 - If it don't move and it's supposed too
JB Weld - For all other repairs
