My new-old stock gast rotart vane pump just died. I though it broke a

Where do you live? At times the scrap yard gets some medical hardware. Like pumps from oxygen concentrators. They get two sizes of pumps.

Chicago. Pump is running again now for the time being without modifications. Did chip part of the "stone" in the output filter
that traps some of the oil vapor, so need to patch that with something.

Used medical stuff always looks too gross to deal with. The stuff is either dirty, destroyed by cleaning an sanitizers or
both.
