help with a substitute pump for MSX 160

hey guys- your expertise would be greatly appreciated. My sicce pump broke a long time ago on my MSX 160 and the skimmer's just been sitting in the closet. Is there any pump on the market (hopefully in the $100-$200 range) that would work with this skimmer body? -or any kind of mod I could do to make one work with it? It doesn't have to be operating at the pinnacle of performance, just want a functional skimmer...

I have found some information online about several replacement pumps, but I assume they are going to be a problem because they have to fit underneath the skimmer per the design of the skimmer. Has anyone modded anything onto one of these guys?
