Sorry to hear that, Seth was kind to me. He was more of a phone guy than an email guy as I remember. I did spend some time with him, both on the phone and at his studio. (He's a pretty well known archivist of old historic recordings, among other things).
That pump company you mentioned is still in business, as you probably know. The trick is to see if the fittings that are used on the Monks will fit onto a new pump, if that is what you are after. I wonder if the pump company itself supplies any of those fittings since I doubt Monks would fabricate fittings if they are standard items.
Monks itself lists a replacement pump that no doubt has all the bells and whistles already attached.
I would be happy to take a look at the pump in my Monks if it is of any help to you, and snap a few photos. Mine is a late machine, an Omni, which was built after 2010.
My email address is on the web if you look me up. My name is Bill Hart and I am listed at a page called flying reptile media group.
