Every morning my Russian Blue (Francis) and his Nebelung brother (Ren) have an epic battle for whoever gets to stake a claim on the front porch cat tree, affectionately named "Cactus Canyon."

I was given a lightly used Coleman La Z Day Spa. It's been wonderful, with the exception of the massage function. I'm wondering if someone might be able to help. The previous owner said that they did not use the massage function at all. From what I can gather, there is a vinyl ring that runs the perimeter of the tub, that is injected with air, by the pump when activated, thus creating the bubbles. There is a large vinyl plug flap that goes into the pump (see photos) in which the air is pumped through that vinyl plug flap, into the ring on the floor of the tub. The problem that I am seeing, is that the plug flap that connects the ring into the actual pump is not fitting tightly. It is almost as if I am missing a gasket, fitting or something of the sort. Would anyone know anything about this? At this point, the vinyl plug just sort of seats into the pump fitting and does not fit tightly or plug in with any sort of seal and when I turn the massage function on it just forcefully spits water all over the place, past the plug flap. When I push the plug in manually and hold it in place, water feeds through the vinyl ring and it works appropriately, but the minute I take my hand off, the force of the air pressure blows the plug out again. Clearly I am missing a fitting or something. Can anyone with a Coleman La Z Spa help a guy out? I'm attaching pictures for reference. Thanks y'all!

Picked this Silvertone up for $20 on FB Marketplace. Got it from a gentleman who said he had it since the 50's. Does anyone know anything about it? It's a beautiful uke. Looks to be made of mahogany.
