PS original post at the end of the stethoscope thread removed so that this would not count as a duplicate post. I decided people won't read it at the end of a 3 page thread so I thought I'd see if anyone reads this and can help - please don't close the thread again, thanks.

After using my HP sprague (see my overexcitable posts linked above from when I was a brand new and VERY green doctor) for the last 4 years I've lost the bloody chest piece. The diaphragm had already died and was actually just a piece of very thin plastic which had not appreciably reduced sound quality. So I'm now sat with a crippled stethoscope with just a bell and no diaphragm.

Does anyone either have a spare chest piece I could buy off them, or have any idea where I can get one? The links in this thread are now all out of date - the online stores are out of chest pieces...

Any help appreciated. And if anyone happens to have a Craddock-Pelham bell...

I would pay a fair bit of money... Just in case that makes a difference.

Thank you! I have done now - not holding out that much hope.

Though I just had a chat with Philips in Europe and they're very kindly sending the last bits from their factory that they had knocking around. Very kind of them - they said there isn't an adult diaphragm but there is a paeds diaphragm so at least it'll be usable temporarily

Really impressed that they've been so nice.

thanks for the help Blue Dog
