    I was wondering if there is a "next size larger tubing" that will fit 
over it like telescoping aluminum tubing for antennas.  If there is that would be 
the easiest approach for sure. Possibly, if there is not an easier next size 
up of tubing I could get a small bit of copper and use a drill press to drill 
it out with the right bit then slip it over and solder.  I would have to heat 
it up before sliding it over to try to keep the heat stress off the cold plate.

Small Parts Inc. has an assortment of small sizes of telescoping copper 
tubing. They have a larger selection of telescoping brass tubing in 1/32" steps if 
that would work for your purpose for an adapter joint between different sizes 
of copper tubing. 73 Todd WD4NGG
