no clue on dan, you've done quite a bit of research! if you want to rebuild it and run it, here's a couple sources:
VM68 / PMI 3 Seal Kit [SHER061] - $30.00 : Palmers Pursuit Shop, Where Custom Still Means Something <b>VM68/PMI-3 Parts and Accessories
of course, the second link is ptp, where the powerfeed came from... lots more info in vm empire, along with interested parties if you decide to part with it
