‪@retro_restorations‬ In this video, I strip down a kitchen quarter-turn tap on the workbench to reveal the inner cartridge mechanism. I explain how it works, why taps become stiff, start dripping, or leak, and what you can do to fix them. 🔥 Head over to my eBay to grab fantastic retro items: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/retro_restorations
