    "I suppose there had to be some bad news, namely that the Standard 2 (78019) has
    had to be withdrawn due to problems with the back lap joints of the inner
    copper firebox. A section of the overlapping back will have to be
    replaced; sounds familiar somehow, doesn't it? My guess is that 12 copper
    patch screws need to come out and be replaced to allow the new section to
    be welded in, but with luck no side or back stays need touching. Can't see
    it back in use till after Christmas though."
