Default sleep comfort bed repair

one of the air mattresses is losing air somewhere below the mattress as reported by the PO, and confirmed by me. I have googled without success to find a replacement mattress pump. any idea of how to get one? Hoses I can get anywhere, but pump??

as usual I cant find anything and Sally always can find it for me. She found the used and new sleep number pumps on ebay and I just ordered one, then will repair and keep old one in reserve.

We have Sleep Number Queen that we have had for 8 years.
We have the old hard wired hand controls for each side that don't have a digital reading on them.
We always dump air out of the bed when we travel for a day because the engine heat really pumps up the bed!!
We called Select Comfort and ordered a new pump with wireless LCD remotes for $275 plus shipping.
This way when we let out the air, we can pump them back up to a predetermined level.
For us, the way to go..

Bob,
We've found that as long as you have the pump/controller plugged in an outlet that's powered by the inverter (on our coach, the street side bed table), the bed stays on the number set, and seldom needs to be reset after we park. We always leave inverters on when we travel. Originally we had it plugged in an outlet that wasn't powered, and the bed deflated. Also, we've found that during boondocking, when we turn the inverters off at night, the bed will hold it's air overnight.

We must have the prehistoric version. It is powered with the 110 volts only.
We don't have an inverter.
Our bed stays up nomatter how long we are without power.
I wonder how the new compressor will work out?
Will put it in in a couple of days.
It will be nice to select a number instead of an only fill/release button.
