## Discrepancy

(CAN) PART WAS ACTUALLY REMOVED FROM STOCK FOR INSTALLATION ON A/C, BUT WOULD NOT FIT. IT WAS TAGGED AS 'USED SERVICEABLE'. IT APPEARS AS IF THE END LEVER HAD BEEN HOME MADE AND WELDED ON TO THE TUBE. ALSO PREVIOUSLY WORN ATTACHING HOLES HAD BEEN '  REPAIRED' BY THE WELDING OF WASHERS TO THE LEVERS. THE MECHANIC TRYING TO INSTALL THE UNIT REJECTED IT.
