Uhm... go look in the "Parts For Sale" section of the forum. Brake boosters don't seem to be in terribly great demand, and there's a lot of cars being parted out. I'm willing to bet a "WTB: Brake booster for (whatever your car is)" thread will get a few rather quick responses.

^^^probably aksing how much You'll CHARGE to take the brake booster away......OK that's exaggerated.
But I would make sure you didn't develope a vacuum leak first. I'd hate to see you go through all this effort only to find it was a cracked vacuum hose. My brakes were "hard" to push untill I rebuilt the motor. During the rebuild I pulled off all the old vacuum lines (one at a time) and replaced the brittle old crap. And then my brakes worked fine for about 10 minutes untill all the seals started leaking from the new power being applied. Since then I had to do all new brakes and Master cylinder.
Just something to think about.

I'm sure you could pick up a rebuilt or new one from something like NAPA..
Also check the hoses going to your booster and make sure they are connected and not cracked or anything..
