Subject: [CR]silca pump question

Hi all. I bought a silca pump thru ebay a couple of weeks back and yesterday had an opportunity to use it for the first time. The handle blew out the back while I was trying to inflate the tire. I re-inserted it, screwed it down, and tried again. It blew off. Someone told me that the threads were toast. He's right. The handle won't stay in even when there is hardly any pressure in the tire. Is there any solution here or is my pump a gonner? Jon
