You could actually do it yourself, if you wished. It is probably possible now to buy an additional, identical 917LX for approx. $500. If you can find them, buy two. With those two machines in a closet and screwdriver, you should be able to fix anything for a long time to come. HP3000's are highly modularized devices, built very much like any PC. Replacing components only takes a few minutes, if you have a spare working module.
