Steve:
Your rotary valve is on the Gazinza side of the dust collector, mine's on the Gazouta side.? I did a build log on Home Model Engine Machinist covering the build and installation.? There's pictures there if you're interested.
I initially had the cyclone discharging into a drum that had to be sealed similar to yours.? I built the airlock so that the discharge bin didn't have to be sealed.? It's less hassle now checking the level in the bin, or emptying it.
