[Jewelry making - Article 00420] - [Orchid] Stuck vulcanizer

Hi all,

    Today I was happily vulcanizing away.  The buzzer went off on the
    timer, I go to open the vulcanizer, and can't to it.  All of us try,
    no one can open it. 

    I wasn't vulcanizing anything unusual.  It's an old vulcanizer,
    nothing fancy.  Wheel type handle on top.  Brand is Pro Craft or
    Craft Pro. 

    I'm hoping someone will post and say, oh yes, Elaine, that's a
    standard vulcanizer problem, just do this and it will magically
    open. 

    It's really, really stuck.  The strongest among us cannot open it. 

    And if it's not salvageable and you have a cheap, used vulcanizer
    for sale, do email me! 

Thanks,
Elaine
