Compton Oil free Diaphragm Pump lying on your shelf?

[Mr Mackay]

I dont suppose anyone has one of these , they liberated from an old Desco type fibre glass tank at all? Its nearly as old as me , and they pumped air into the jacket to 'wear' at the ice and cool the stainless jacket around it !!
Ours has become more noisy , I suspect it could be the bearing I suppose , but wondered if the diaphragm was getting buggered ?

After 50 yrs , you canner blame it

 

[Mr Mackay]

Apparently people retro fit a large fish tank aerator onto them nowadays . Might be an idea

@Mr Mackay did you find a pump after, oddly someone advertised a Crompton Air pump at the start of the week.. £10

 

[Mr Mackay]

James fitted me a new one !! Its an aquarium pump and to be honest it makes about 1 % of the noise that the old Compton did !!!
Cant tell its on now ,whereas the old one could be heard a mile away !!
Better job all around really !!
