Also, you could be getting a pump that needs repair soon.  On the Lactina, 
the belts eventually break, and you never know if you will be getting a pump 
that needs help.

**Has anyone ever replaced the belt on one?**

I want to sell my used Medela Lactina, and am debating whether I should 
repair it first.  I purchased the pump for myself when pumping for one my 
babies.  My husband was planning on replacing it himself, but never got 
around to it; it is supposedly a cheap and easy job.  Medela of course, says 
not to do it yourself; they do a total overhaul/upgrade of pumps for $150. 
My dh says this is overkill for a $3 part, but of course he hasn't done it 
yet.
