I bought the CI MP brand new in the late 1980's. The original splash pan was incredibly flimsy and was replaced by one that appeared to be especially created as a replacement and I think, with a little ingenuity, could be designed from some of that bendable board that contractors use to frame up curbs. I will try to post some pictures in the next few days to give you an idea of what it looks like. I wish you were closer - I would love to donate my MP to your co-op, as it works well and, if it one wheel stops working you could use it for parts for the other. I will look for the manual as well.
