<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt">Hi
Randy,<br>
I have been trying to find sources for the parts
in the 100 pumps for some time but as yet have
had only marginal success as they are completely
different from anything produced today. And the
cost of having the parts custom made is
prohibitively expensive. <br>
(Never begin a sentence with a conjunction)<br>
I have purchased and disassembled one of the
currently available reproduction pumps and they
are a mishmash of parts, none of which are
similar to the originals.<br>
The problem with trying to use the one that I
purchased was that the thread used for the
heater outlet spigot was different from what was
required for the original brass valve used on
the 100 and it was impossible to modify the pump
to accept the original valve.<br>
Hopefully someone else has better news for you.<br>
