    Useless machine after that. But it worked for 40 or 50 years.
    You possibly can keep it working if you know how to make parts,
    including the use of 3D printers.

    Rubber parts of the needed properties? Still need the factory drawings.

    You can't 3d-print rubber? I dunno... no money for a 3d printer. :)
