First I would Google, then I would check Ebay then I would probably try to refurbish the old parts so they would work again...

That's a cool machine, but I think it's easier and cheaper to just buy new plugs. (Notice I didn't say more fun)

Tried all 3 of those option's and found nothing.

yep it would be easier, but it would piss me of having it siting there knowing it did not work. lol

A friend of mine has that same model. He bought it for the stand, thinking the metal box on top was junk. After cleaning it up he found that spark plug cleaner. He just repainted everything and it is part of his display.

you might try an industrial supply house or grainger. i'm sure the parts needed wern't made specifically for that machine. you might find something close enough to work with only minor modifications.

I could have helped you with a complete machine till about 2 weeks ago. I tossed mine into the truck going to the scrap yard. I hated to do it, but I need the room in the garage, and I have so much junk in there, that I have no choice. My wife wants me to clean the garage before I kick the bucket, and at my age, I am not certain which one will happen first. Seems that not many people have any interest in those type of items any longer. Question was over to my garage, and he didn't say much, but he did shake his head and wonder what is under all that mess. I have spent 50 years as a pack rat, and now I realize that I kept stuff way too long. :(

If you saw my garage, you could understand how I could do that. Every time I open a box, it is like Christmas all over again. I never know what I will find in one of those boxes, and I never know if I should keep it or toss it. If it is big, and I don't see ever using it again, then I try to sell it on Craigslist, or toss it. Today, I found a box of Gates belt and hose wall racking. Ten pieces about 3' long, still in the original box. The box was dated 1971, and I have no idea why I have kept it for so many years. It will be headed to Craigslist tomorrow. Need a water meter??? I found a box with 3 of them in it. The best find of the day was a container of mouse poison. That got put to use immediately.

a pat on the back ain't to far from a kick in the a$$.

makes a lot of these types of items. Motion Control

http://www.compumotor.com/

sells a lot of their stuff. I believe Grainger and the like also carry some of it.
