Yeah, evidently you'd think they were made of gold for as rare as they are. No one has parts for them, and some people have never heard of them. I dont even have a backup, but the one I have works. I wouldn't mind getting one though. Classic parts has a replacement valve for it, but I havent ordered it because I haven't figured out how it goes in. I have figured out an o-ring that works good between the valve and the core though.
