Hi Gary,
Here's a (slightly edited) quote from Phoenix Flow Systems' web site:
"FACScan Service Tip of the Month
[snip]
How many of you out there have had the main air pump replaced on your
FACScan? Did you know that the main air pump is rebuildable? Did you also
know that the parts to rebuild the main air pump come in every PM kit
ordered from BD? There are two parts in the PM kit with the following part
numbers: Valve set, P/N
06-30214-00 & Diaphram, viton, 06-30215-00. By replacing these parts in the
main air pump, your air pump will work like new."
I think I've got a couple of these spare, if you have trouble getting hold
of them, drop me a line and I'll send them to you.
