Three years ago we had a leak in the left side bellow. I exchanged it 
finally with a new one from Finnigan (about 2700,- USD, when I remember 
this correct)

However colleques told me that a repair is much cheaper (around 500,- or 
so). For repair you may contact:

We never sent ours for repair. It's still in the drawer...
