those sponges

If you do find the sponge, make sure you get the metal screen that fits on top. If not the sponge will swell up and cause your inks to siphon off.

I've been looking around for years and have NEVER seen anybody selling the sponges only. You will probably have to buy a new capping station. That will cost you a lot less than a new maintenance station.

Here is a link to the spittoon sponge to the left of the capping station: Spittoon Sponge
Here is a link to the capping station for that machine: Capping Station

The capping station sponge is not sold anywhere and only comes with the station. The capping station is a lot cheaper than the whole maintenance station.
