Well I got a hold of Ken Hitchcock.........He doesn't do much rebuilding anymore.....
But he said if I send him my parts he could fix me up.
These actuators are getting pretty scarce.........Probably need to think about electric ones
in the future.

Are electric ones available or is it a DIY sort of thing with junkyard parts?

If anybody has an old 66 unit that isn't working that they can part with, I'd like to see one and take it apart. I'm trying to source the diaphrams for the 67s and I think we can then repair those. 68-69 ar somewhat similar to those, but just a single unit for both lamps.
