Replacement parts, and component machines, are often very expensive
when purchased separately. (eg. a new automobile wiper
arm/reflector/mirror/bumper, etc.)  As a devotee of the used and
recycled school, I suggest you contact a local graphic arts supplier
and ask for a source of used vacuum pumps and repair people.  I may
be well be wrong, but I suspect that almost any working vacuum pump
would suffice for your freeze dryer, although a smaller unit may
take more time to achieve the vacuum pressure needed.
