rrhorton, I inquired to Brian Joseph, owner of "Classic and Exotic" Restoration Service in Michigan, and here's his response.

If the reservoir has a lever which lifts the pump piston from the top, we can repair it. If it is one of the types that has a pull handle that extends into the passenger compartment with the reservoir mounting on the firewall, I cannot help, nor do I know who can.

I have one other possible place to check out for you.

BDC, the glass reservoir was used on the Type G (so-called "continuous") units which can identified by the vacuum diaphragm pump mounted atop the unit. Type G was used from 1936 back at least to 1933 and perhaps earlier. The earlier "push daily" single shot units were used at least thru 1930 but I'm a bit uncertain about the period between 1931 and 1933.
