Wow, we never had a backup machine, just the one rented by insurance company. It was a DeVilbiss. I have an extra "kit" (the collection bowl, hosing etc) that's unopened if that will help. That was the only standby we ever had, the ins always claimed if the compressor broke the supply company was only 15 minutes away from us... Fortunately we never had to time them! I couldnt afford shipping right now but would send it if you want it sometime in June. Deb

Hi Heath,
Check on Ebay! Â*We just bought a vacu-aide on Ebay for $28. Â*We haven't gotten it in the mail yet, so I don't know if it actually *works* but it was supposedly brand new in the box. Â*There is another one up for auction right now (the auction ends tonight) but the price is up to $50-something. Â*If you have the time and patience, sometimes you can find a bargain. Also, why not call the equipment company and ask about getting another machine? It can't hurt to ask, and I'm sure you aren't the first people to have this happen to them? Good luck! Erica (Lily's Mom)
