Is the rubber piece removable? You might see if there is someone local that can replicate rubber parts and can make a new one based on the old one. Not sure of the cost.
I found a place that might, but no idea, as I live in USA. William Johnston & Company williamjohnston.co.uk/products-r... "William Johnston & Company Limited offer a conversion and fabrication service. We have multiple machines that rapidly assist us in the precise conversion of material to gasket for almost every engineering sector." Restoring vacuums though is never economical and it's not a profit oriented hobby. It's a labor of love and about saving vacuums. It's because so many people throw them out and throw out the spare parts, there's none left now, so the price goes up for the parts that are left. I have a Miele Black Diamond that I paid $15 for, and had to buy and import the original hose from Germany at a cost of $60, same with the tools. I also have a Kirby I got for free out of a vacuum store dumpster that I've put over $120 into restoring it and replacing missing parts. |
