Thanks for the replies. I don’t need anything urgently but I have a small crack in the manifold off the engine and the water box is badly corroded. I’m afraid the water box might give up the ghost when I descale the machine. I just was getting worried that their wasn’t anyone supporting the machine. I know it doesn’t have many proprietary parts but it’s much easier to deal with one source.

call Steamway Express in [Zoarville] Ohio. Jeff has alot of PM parts in stock, or he did. 1-866-859-1011
Jeff's "the man" .
he's my "go to" guy.
Few guys are as knowledgeable as Jeff when it comes to SW TMs
as far as the water box...I don't know what they're getting for them these days, but years ago I had a fab shop make one out of stainless for not much more than SW wanted for the OE aluminum one
if you're willing/able to drill the holes, mount the hardware and use the stock lid (as I did) it was le$$ than the OE box
if you have a fab shop make one, be sure to specify stainless welds...or you'll have probs with rusty water
(ask me how I know....
