The bulb is probably the same as an NCB Methanometer bulb or Drager tube sample kit aspirator. Suspect they are a bit rare now.

You could modify a blood pressure inflator as a last resort.

You could try Protector, they still sell garforth lamps. Also check eBay as they come up every now and again. But, I reckon if you find one on eBay you’ll be looking at 40 quid or more.

It appears I have a methanometer bulb amongst my old kit, missing one valve though.

This is my garforth bulb, came from Wheldale colliery after closure.
