What are they worth now :?: I've got one in bits that I've had since the late 70's including spare diaphragm and original brackets. Spotted it during my recent house move.

I remember when I stripped my lockheed down that I had a massive amount trouble trying to get the small piston out that was seized in. Ended up having to make a blanking plate with an o ring seal then using a grease gun to pressurise it so it wouldn't go flying around the garage.
bingo problem solved.

Okay, so I now own the one pictured. I was thinking of sending it up to hydroboost to be cleaned and re-assembled but he said he has too much on and told me to try Vacair in Thomastown. I will see how I go. I might take my brake and clutch reservoirs to get cleaned up at the same time.
