VACUUM POT LINKS
Links to other Vacuum Coffee Pot sites on the Web. 
The Coffee Kid
The "coffee lover's obsession site" -- Not as active or as informative as it used
to be, but there's still some useful space devoted to vacuum pots.
19th Century Roasters
A site devoted to coffee roasters with lots of great images of vacuum pots
and related advertising and ephemera.
History of Coffee Brewers
Informative and idiosyncratic history of coffee brewers with photos of
several early vacuum pots.
Replacement Parts:
Narrow-neck Replacement Rubber Gaskets
Casco Bay Molding in Maine offers replacement gaskets for narrow-necked Silex
vacuum pots.  They are injection molded of silicone rubber and dishwasher safe!
[Ignore the wide-neck Silex vacuum pot in the photo - these are the narrow-neck
gaskets]

Wide-neck Replacement Rubber Gaskets 
Food Service Direct once sold replacement gaskets for a stainless steel
vacuum pot in the style of the vintage Cory/Nicro pot.  I have received
reports that these gaskets work well on some older, wide-neck pots.
Note: Food Service Direct no longer sells the replacement gasket for the
Adcraft vacuum coffee pot (AdCraft has apprently discontinued this item),
but they still have some of the replacement filter assemblies in stock.  Get
'em while they last!

Wire Trivets / Heat Diffusers
A wire trivet is recommended when using a glass vacuum pot on an electric stove.
TheGadgetSource.com sells inexpensive wire trivets (also called "heat diffusers" or
"stove rings"):
