For the Beer Engine itself, checkout eBay. There are a number of guys in the UK that sell recond beer engines through eBay. You will soon see the 2-3 guys that list every week.
As for the Aspirator and non-return valve, contact ScotBev in Scotland. They are the cheapest by a mile.

Beers,
Doc

Just a quick note Doc, what's a good going price on a beer engine from these guys and how much did postage work out to be?

Thanks. Justin

I'd say for a good condition unit, anything around the 50 pound mark is fair.
For shipping you are looking at 10 pounds per kg. These things typically have a steel frame, and heavy brass parts making them weigh 8-10kg. So for shipping you are looking around 80-100 pounds.

you are looking at 10 pounds per kg.

I always thought it was 2.2 pounds per kg.
