[time-nuts] CS reservoir depletion

I have a CS tube that has a 'rattle'.  I suspect one of the magnets has
become dislodged.  

It would be nice to be able to 'reposition' the magnet if indeed that is the
problem.

I have thought about X-Raying it to see if I could see the problem.

Now that we are discussing how to restore Rb lamps. 

 Has anyone given any thought to refilling or refluxing the Cs in depleted
Cs tubes?

Obviously opening would require high vaccum equipment - which is a totally
separate category of nut (Or is it?)
