I was at the sun n fun fly in when I discovered mine had failed, so I found a parts dealer set up in the trade show and bought one meant for small aircraft...just a run of the mill continuous duty solenoid that looks like something you'd find at NAPA except it's certified for aircraft. I don't recall the price now but it wasn't as much as you'd think. I've had it in for a little over 3 years.
looks a little like this one, but I didn't pay this much.....

I coated with that red battery post spray to hopefully slow corrosion...which is what I think killed the trombetta |
Glad it's working out for you. The fact that it is aircraft approved may mean that it has been tested more rigorously but the specs are below even the stock Trombetta. I'm sure there are lots of options that work and life before failure will depend on several factors. The W-R that I selected is certainly not the only serviceable one, just the one that I found that I had most confidence in as an upgrade.
