If you find them, I'd appreciate a dozen and would
immediately send you a check. Thomas compressor would
not sell me any a year or so ago - said the complete
unit was considered "disposable" and it wasn't
economically feasible for them to sell the Teflon
replacement cups. Hopefully they have a change of
heart some day.

If the tank isn't leaking, why not simply clean
internally with a rust inhibitor, or volatile solvent?

Good luck, but I could not find any below 200 plus
shipping, over a year ago.

There were a fairly large number of them, I was
told.

Is there any reason you would consider the Gast as
you found the Thomas for $189??
