Help with Callaghan Pump

Anyone out there operating an older Callaghan? They were made in Australia, don't seem to have any product support to speak of for pumps in the field.

We are trying to help an individual working on his 36 meter four section, I believe it may be either an 89 or 98.

Seeking a wiring diagram of any kind for pump panel connections.

Any help appreciated, Lorne @ Alliance.

  There's an outfit in Snohomish,Washington called "Reliable hardware&eqipment" that in 1998-2001 actually built a handfull of those pumps with Brian Callaghan & a half a dozen aussies. The owner is "Jim Kapelke". He had a small fleet of them until selling out to Conco a few years ago. He's still in buisines selling hardware and fix'n pumps. His lead mech. was a fella named "Paul",if he's still around he's the guy you need. They'll probably try to sell you a few more Callaghans. I dont recall any others being sold in the states. "Reliable" claims to have ran the first stateside Callaghan. Then the first pump that was built in Washington state was sent off to the world of concrete the year it was in Orlando,Florida. I'd almost bet,that pump and yours are the same animal. Built in 98 in Sedro-wooley,Washington by Callaghan and his aussies
