I would look at Lowe's, but would be very surprised if they had whatever
part I might need for anything more than five years old.  We did once
find a small vacuum cleaner replair place when ours was on the friz --
but I think even that place has disappeared.  It is even getting hard to
find someone to put new heels and soles onto shoes --  many shoes
(including the ones I am wearing) have solid manufactured one piece
material.  Wear it out and buy a new pair.

Cars have even moved into that direction.  My son once owned a 72 Pinto
that he could work on with minimal training (he was 16 at the time).
To give the modern car a tune-up needs special computer equipment and
training.
