Hi,
I bought a PC from ebay which arrived with the ebonite handles broken. I was planning to use it anyway until I read "repstodd" thread. Here are pics. Since the handles do not have (IMO) something to do directly with the sealing process I thought it will be alright...now after reading that post I am a little (more) scared. Please tell me what u think.
EDIT : I uploaded some pics but they do not show ( smth i did wrong..

i cant see the picture but I dont think the handles have anything to do with the function of the actual unit, do they?
Can you show the thread you are talking about?

The handle shouldnt matter, under the lid it should look "castle-lated", the only thing that MIGHT be dueshed up is your seal, those old pressure cooker gaskets turn hard like bowling ball material.
Here is a picture of what you need to look for, The castlelations do all the holding-down-of-under-pressure on this design style

Everything said by me is fiction.

oh ya, if it has a rubber type seal, check the seal for any dry rot or cracking of any sort. Those rubber seals can leak like a bitch.
