Thanks for all this... I'm not ignoring you all but shan't be able to follow it up for a few days, but I'll be back on the case as soon as I can and will report what happened next (if anything!).

To close the topic (for me, at any rate):

In the end, the solution was as simple as a partial blockage in the airway within the gun. I discovered this when I hooked up a compressor with a higher pressure rating. After a few minutes of no progress at all I was sulkily blasting air through the non-working gun when there was a sharp "phutttt!" followed by a stream of grit at high force. So there we go.

Thanks to all who gave me the confidence to see it through!

Hi
Sounds like it was a BLAST from the past!
