They were obsolete when I got into the tire business in 1986. You can take apart the valve you are holding your finger over and make new parts for it. An old customer of mine used a inner tube and course cloth cut out and glued together. No don't know how long it lasted, he passed away soon after I met him and I have no idea what happened to his old machine.
