Curt & John, you are both correct. The pump itself is the Thomas
405ADC38/12 (I peeled off the Microphor label to get to the Thomas
label) and I have found that Grainger has them for $189. The Microphor
Model 5000 is the pump with 4.5 gal pancake tank and control circuitry.

Although I would like to just get the seals (and still looking), it
seems my tank has some rust or something ratting around in the tank
that makes me want to replace the tank as well.

Still looking for a better deal, but will have to do something soon as
I need to flush the toilet in a few days

Also, the replumbing is on the list as soon as I get an auxilliary
compressor installed. I have one of the few sold without the
compressor, but all the wiring, switches etc are there, just hate
spending $800 for the Gast compressor.
