My bike pump has served me well over many a good year. The valve head at the base is however moeg and needs replacing.
Can I find parts anywhere, or am I doomed to replace what is 95% working? ????

Pump is a RAVX Dual Phase 200 track pump.
Looks like this is the kit I need:

You can get new hoses and chucks from a few places, I've just replaced the one on my hundred year old track pump. Nut sure if this is what you're looking for though.

Good question. My Lezyne gauge doesn't work but inflates perfectly. Would love to address this at some point 

Lezyne spares are pretty easy to get hold of when the agents have stock.

No. Need the master head valve that goes inside the pump at the base that controls the one directional flow from pump body to hose.

Ok, so it's the check valve on the other end of the hose before the gauge.

 

In that case OE is probably the only way to go if you need spares. I'd strip and relube it as a starting point, sometimes it's just the check valve that gets stuck open or closed. I use RS Dynamic Seal Grease on mine cos I've got heaps of it, but any light grease should do the job.

Thanks Andrew I however suspect that the problem is linked to the sealing of the gauge.

I opened and reassembled. Got some life back. I'll try again and lube also. TY
