Replacement pump for La Marzocco

Hello,

I'm trying to buy a La Marzocco Linea for a personal project. I see some candidates but sometimes water pump and motor are missing. I looked at the price of them on the La Marzocco website and they cost about $700. Are they the best choice ? I wonder if there are general pumps that can replace the original pump.

Surprisingly, a replacement Kees van der Westen complete pump and motor costs less than half the LM quote of $700 for their most expensive model (North America, 230v).

look for carbonation pumps from pop guns and motor kits on kijiji or craigslist thats how i got mine from bar they were demolishing. its the same procon pump found in most machines.
