Hello,

I'm looking for a Tunze 7240.27 driver such as the one below. Also, does anyone know if there is a replacement that'll work?

The pumps that use this part were discontinued in 2008 and the drivers have not been available since 2012. All pumps made since 2009 have a miniaturized internal driver board and there is no compatible substitute. In general, these pumps lasted about 10 years and given how old this pump must be, I would not put much effort into trying to use it, finding a working used one would be a long shot hope and I would not spend much on it.

Luckily a Sponsor of my local club has a working one along with bunch of parts for free. Going Saturday to pick it up and grab some corals. Win win I suppose. Thanks to all that answered.
