I have just made one of these beauties work today using a kit like this http://bolthely.hu/orczy/id/KEG807_Szodasszifon_javitokeszlet__10_db-os_ later I will look up a shop with switchable english version too. If I forget it just make me remember! The only hard part is that you have to remove the seal on the top and the pin of the valve arm. Here in Hungary soda siphon repair kits are still available.

Did a bunch of research but never found parts from anywhere. The challenge is the fill valve. I never tried using parts for a modern siphon, but you might be able to make it work. The gasket on the neck that holds the glass tube inside is probably easier because there's a little more tolerance. Mine had some serious residue on the inside which cleaned up nicely with muriatic acid. Good luck! I hope you give restoration a try and are more successful than I was.
