Who knows...Maybe somebody has a good ALC compressor diaphragm for sale. I did a search here and saw that the lack of spare parts is a problem with that system.

Eldorado George has some and he charges a ridiculous amount for them, but he has them so he can charge what he wants to.

Be prepared to be told $100 or $150 for the diaphragm through him. You should still keep looking elsewhere first.

The price does not shock me. However, I don't do a phone call from Switzerland. My English over the phone is a disaster and I don't understand the person at the other end of the phone.
An email address is what I do need. If you don't want to publish it here, you can send a PM. Anyway, thanks for the replay.

G'day Roger,

You are not alone there.   When I ring a lot of places in the US, and even whilst visiting and talking face to face, a lot of Americans couldn't understand me, and I speak proper English.   They said I have a real accent, but I can understand myself perfectly.

No sir I am not aware of what George's email address is. I have only talked with him on the phone a few times. He does have a YouTube channel so maybe you can find an email address on one of his videos.

I confirm, I have worked in many countries and have talked with people with many different accent and Bruce and I struggled the one time we talked on the phone despite English being both of ours first language, obviously different variations of the language of which there are many variations of it around the world.

Have to throw this in here.  A while back I met a guy at the drag strip with a very strong (I thought) "down under" accent.  After talking a while I asked him where he was from and he said England, but in the 10 years he had been living in Texas, he did not loose the English accent but added a bit of Texan drawl. Go figure.
