Guys those machines were obsolete when I started in the tire business in 1986. Dodgemam, You can rebuild the check valves and make them work. You might have to get inventive to rebuild them. I think a customer of mine bought an inner tube and cut out circles of rubber and glued them to some heavy cloth to rework the valves. His turned after he did this. I do not know what became of the machine. He passed on over 20 years ago. Good luck with them.

 Mine is probably older than yours....I am the center post....I see that posting is from 9 years ago...I can't even guess how many tires it has changed....The valve got bad and I put a lever type water valve with a bleeder on it...Just keeps on going...  Somebody wanted to change some alloy wheels, so they bought some No-Mar bars for it.
