you for confirming the information.

I just tried to phone 1-818-504-2516 was answered by person who said Jasco
products were out of business and telephone number reassigned.
I also tried to phone 1-323-254-8889 and received recording saying
disconnected or out of service.
Does anyone have contact information for Arc of Commerce.
Thanx

How about a DIY repair instead?

Bob's idea is probably best lest you can find the parts you want on the
scrap market. You might check Froogle for "inflatable lumbar support."
I've used one of those for several years and it works OK for me -- no
fancy buttons though.
About three years ago JASCO came up with a neat idea for an airliner
seat that would prevent blood clots on long flights. United Airlines
bought into the idea and United became JASCO's prime customer. When the
airline business tanked so did the massaging seat.
ARK of COMMERCE ('ARK' rather than 'ARC') is a business development, and
public relations outfit located in Del Mar and New York City. About all
they could do for you is provide an opportunity to invest in JASCO or
buy the intellectual property (patents, design drawings, trademarks, etc.)

Thanks for the pointer to froogle. I had not used that site before and now
can not understand my ignorance.

Thanks for the link. This is naturally my second choice for a repair but if
genuine parts are not available I will try this repair.
I just reinspected the failed diaphragm assembly and think that the rubber
glove repair will work better than I had originally thought
I have a lumbar support in my pilot parachute that is filled with a manual
bulb pump from a blood pressure testing cuff. Using one of those is also an
option but would require tubing splitters and check valves. I will try
repairing the pump first.

Just completed latex glove diaphram repair; parts cost $0; seems to work
quite well. Did both sides, it will be interesting to see how long they
last.

Congrats. The whole pump seems available for sale at corvette sites if
you end up having to buy.
