Anyone recognise this milk pump?

    Trying to track down a new set of seals for this milk pump. The cause of the trouble is a shaft seal which consists of a rubber or neoprene part and a rotating part squeezed together around a spring... there is no identifying plate on the pump itself although the motor is gryphon.. A Google search doesn't help and I now know much more about breastfeeding mothers than I ever planned to....

    Looks a lot like an Alfa or Gascoigne, although in the Alfa I have the impellor is just in a slot in the shaft.

    What is the small pipe with a slight bend on it, on the right hand side of the picture, for?

    It's definitely not an Alfa - at least not one the Alfa agent recognises. Their seal is a different arrangement without the two part sleeve & spring as far as I know. Not sure about Gascoigne..

    The little pipe is an overflow or drain of some kind. Seems to work better when blocked up.

    Not an Alfa pump that I've ever seen.

    Is it not a Fullwood pump.
