AEI eventually became Kratos (at least the bit that made mass spectrometers did). It looks as though it is now a part of Shimadzu, but still makes
some mass spectrometers (MALDI-TOF as far as I can see).
What you need is a decent rotary pump and oil-diffusion pump or a turbo-molecular pump, plus the pipework, isolation valves, Pirani gauges and ionisation gauges. You never know, you might find just what you want in a skip. The last place that I worked at scrapped a Jeol GC-MS system and a VG ZAB! I worked on one of the early ZABs at the Royal Society Research Unit at Swansea University ages ago - beautiful reverse-geometry beasties.
Oh, dear. I think I have just gone too far off-topic...sorry.
