CB, 1994 was about when threadless 1&1/8" stems originated (AIR), but by measuring the OD of the headtube and looking at the stem, you can define your system (look at Sheldon Brown if you need further assistance). If it's 1&1/8 threadless, you should be able to locate a NOS (new, old stock) 26" Rock Shox that will suffice for $100 or so. The fork may be disc-only which means a new front wheel and brake. Probably better off looking for a good used bike.
