Which Bloomingdale engine did they buy? Was it the 2007 Pierce? I believe Bloomingdale has sold the 1995 Pierce Lance as well, as I have not seen it around.

A pump computer? So it has an electric governor instead of a manual throttle at the pump panel? Just get rid of the computer or find a used one from a wrecked apparatus. I know the rig is 23 years old but a pump computer not being available anymore is kind of ridiculous.
