[ATM] vacuum pump hoses

[Guy Brandenburg <gfbrandenburg@yahoo.com>]

Our mirror-making club has unfortunately suffered an
attack of the phantom cleaners. These
officially-sponsored folks 'cleaned' up the government
building where we have our mirror-making class, and in
the process messed up our aluminizer. Besides throwing
out our collections of scrap wood, clean empty glass
and plastic containers, and clean newspapers, they
also jiggled around the vacuum pump for our vacuum
chamber, so now we can't pull a decent vacuum, because
they bent all the gum-rubber hoses all to hell.

We had thick gum-rubber vacuum hoses connecting the
mechanical pump to the rest of the vacuum chamber.

Does anybody have any ideas where one could get cheap,
but good quality gum-rubber vacuum hoses? An
additional mechanical vacuum pump would not be turned
down, either.
