Hi All, new here.

I inherited an old RECI W4 tube which has been sitting in storage for a couple years. It has two broken areas in the glass. First is the water inlet or outlet tube, which I am pretty sure I can rig up something involving 3D printing and some silicone to connect the hose and keep it all sealed. The second area is a broken off piece in the outer tube. I am not sure what this was for and looks to me like a remnant from the manufacturing process.

Question is if this is likely broken or salvageable? Does the outer tube actually contain any gas? Can I just plug that hole and call it a day?

Second question. I have a DY13 power supply which is supposedly matched for 130W max RECI W4. Is it possible to wire this up to a smaller tube say 60 or 80 watt?
