Because the cylinder & ind. sticks are repo. Check the bonnet, it could also be a repo [fiberglass], original is heavy stamped steel. Not too bad of a price considering the repo parts. db

My opinion would be to buy it for that price and keep your eyes open for original parts if that is what you prefer. There are those that would be happy with it just the way it is.

Not a bad price considering the Benkin Visi-Bowl reproduction (patterned after the American octagonal pump) is $899 for the "kit" (unpainted,, but complete except for globe and decal). Buy it and display it outside. Jim Winter The Hot Rod Grille www.wvpinball.com
