I bought the seal kit and restored it myself, but wasn't happy that the valve seal. It didn't seal completely. It allowed some air to leak by under low pressure so a made a new seal out of some rubber I had. And now it seals under a higher pressure and even holds a vacuum. I don't want ANY hot water circulating when my a/c is on.
It wasn't difficult to rebuild. You might want to try it yourself.

I'm going to make this thread a sticky. Easy to locate the information next time it's needed. Thanks fellas.

I sent mine to Old Air Products. Turnaround was about 2 weeks and they did nice work. I’d recommend.

Jim did mine and very happy with him. He did not take 2 months. I forgot to update this thread.

Its was done more then a year ago,thinking around a $100-$150. If it was crazy money I would of remembered.

I think a NOS one is about $275 on flea bay, so need to weigh up options. I also vote for trying to rebuild it yourself before sending it out.
