The pump leathers are almost never failed, they're usually just dried out. A good soak in neats foot oil will recover most if not all. The replacement is some kind of neoprene which has a definite lifespan, maybe 5-10 years. The leather ones last 25-50 years easy... -Curt Date: Sun, 12 Sep 201

Yes on all counts. I'm as into Coleman lanterns/stoves as I am Mercedes... No pressure build up is one of two possible problems, most commonly the leather in the pump is dried out. Fix that by pulling the pump and soaking the leather in Neats-Foot oil from the hardware store. Don't use any mine

The door locks on a car are mainly to deter casual crimes of opportunity, e.g. opening the door and grabbing something. They will not deter someone who really wants to get in; they would just break the window if nothing else. Even the deadbolt locks on most residential structures are trivial to

Might be the power supply, but a machine of that age might be getting to where some of the components on the mother board are wearing out (probably capacitors or something get hot or lose charge or something and go out of range, the thing trips off). I had that happen to mine a couple of years
