<font color="blue"> so apparently you owners either signed a confidentiality clause or you are SO loyal you aren't willing to divulge and "secrets" on this highly unique and useful machine that anyone can build??? Hehehehehehehehe </font>
You used the wrong L word. We're not too Loyal -- We're too Lazy -- to crawl all over a machine that's working fine to write down part numbers (if they haven't been removed). /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
There have been a few posts where people found aftermarket replacement parts. Dave Sisk, you lurking? We also had a poster who had a pump replaced, and last I recall it wasn't working right. Don't know if the problems were solved easily.
Sedgewood can tell you a lot about his 1845. PT refused to help him rebuild it after a fire, because his insurer threatened a subrogation action against PT. (That accounts for the heavy handed - perhaps unconsionable - indemnity language on the back of PT's purchase order.) During that exercise, Sedgewood collected a lot of information about his 1845.
I had no trouble figuring how to plumb a diverter valve into the system, using the PT book, staring at the machine, and scratching my head a lot. There's an old thread on that.
Bottom line - there's no current complete list for off the shelf parts on any model, but when we've needed something, we've always found it -- usually by calling PT.
