    I have an old classic Solex 200 pressure lamp that I would like to put back into operation, during a check I realized that the air pump gasket is worn and broken due to too long inactivity, I kindly ask you where I can find a spare or how I can replace it with material other than the original for example: rubber or nylon, I ask if you can find a copy or photo copy of the user manual.
    Thanks for your help !!

    I bought two leather pump cups for the Aladdin A 1. One went into the A 1 and the other into the Solex 200, the Solex being about the brightest and best of all my small lanterns. Try Fettlebox, as listed at top of home page. Paul.

    I measured the internal diameter of the air pump pipe which is 17 mm, the thickness of the old gasket is about 8 mm I think I get the new one from hydraulic gaskets, what advice can you give me. Thanks

    I'm sorry ........ I meant "pump washer" ....... your material must be categorically in Premium leather?

    Leather is the best material for the pump cup.
