f.y.i. I also bought a Lactina pump second hand and when I got home, I found out it had a weak pump strength. I then took it to the lactation store that is inside the nearby hospital, they reccomended I call Medela and ask where I could have it maintenenced, when I did they asked me for the serial # on the pump, turned out the pump was still the property of Medela! I was totally surprised. They are sending me a package to send it back to them in and said that they will pay a $150.00 finders fee to me for sending it back...Maybe that is a way for you to re-coop some of that money you spent too.
