Conde 15A vacuum pump

[hardscrabblemaple]

Hello,
Anyone out there have any experience with an old Conde vacuum pump? Just bought one and it is stamped on the side as Conde 15A. It only draws 8-10" of vacuum and is blowing a little oil out the exhaust.

Any place to get parts? Any ideas welcome as I am a novice when it comes to pumps. Been sugaring 40 years though.

i have a twin conde' for a back up in my sugar house. it works great. google conde' and the company is still in business. and you can get parts

The company indeed is still in business and all parts should still be available. They now make vac pumps made for maple and can run at much higher vac levels. To contact the factory call 315-363-1500 They will answer "Westmoor Ltd", Conde is owned by them. I drive school bus and my bus run comes within about 1/4 mile of the factory.
