Switching to parts from earlier or later years is always a possibility, but it 
would be a pain to find and swap everything that you needed.

I'm sure I'll get the diaphram problem worked out someday, and that's most 
likely to happen when we start to get a lot of failures AND after I'm retired. 
I expect the latter to happen sooner than the former. I've never had one fail 
on me. It's still a low odds possibility.
