Good advice all. I'll check it out soon. All new lines and fittings sounds good, I gather that they can get brittle with age. Well, that's sort of a 'well duh' observation. Is getting new material a trick? I'll search for some.

Hmm ... just checked Pelican, lots of vacuum line but no fittings. Searching ...
