Another great swapmeet score; my $5 unused Thetford 155S porta-potti.  Sadly, we only got 2 seasons out of it before the hand pump bellows failed and started leaking. :(  Imagine that.

Through Amazon.com I found a seller with bellows for about $12ea, ordered a pair and it wound up costing $4 because I qualified for a $30 coupon through Amazon's Visa Card program. :p  

Installed one of the new bellows today.  Back in business :D

You Really lucked out with that find. The repair isn't that bad either. I purchased one at Wal-Mart, it wasn't a Thetford though. It still works after many seasons and we keep it clean. But it's getting a little beat up. I thought about bitting the bullet and replacing it. But I priced it out at Wal-Mart and a new one would be $75.00. I'll stick it out with ours. Glad your back in "business".
