Since the vacuum tries to pull air inward through the hole, it should easily be repaired with the Permatex "cold weld" product below which I've used many times. However, you have to make sure you get a fresh package from your retail store, because the product gets old on the shelf and the shelf life is not long.

Try re-sealing it with silicone type sealant...parts stores should carry it. Try blowing air into it to find the leak. Or get a different vac cannister from a salvage yard and modify it. Shipping one for 500.00? sounds pretty high....I would think one could be ordered and sent UPS a lot cheaper.

It is theoretically possible to re-weld or re-solder a vacuum canister, but in practice it's almost impossible. The tiniest pinhole in your weld/solder repair will cause it to leak. The best idea is to just replace it.
