After watching Joe's video I decided to check my top orings. Not wanting to remove the knobs I held it up and shined a flash light up under the knobs to inspect the orings and found some cracks in the control knob housings. Here is pictures of them with the knobs off. I'm having a machinist friend of mine make some pucks that will slide right over the existing knob housings with an extra oring in it. I'll epoxy them on. Then I'll need to pick up some Anderson knobs for it.
NOTE: these only show up when shining a light through them. A jewelers loop is a necessity when inspecting these. I found the rest of them had some hair line cracks in them too. One thing I noticed is the newer Excal II's have a thinner wall on these control housing knobs from earlier one's.
