Very nice pump indeed, I love the colors. Dick, did someone have a roman stolen recently? Hope they are watching just in case. It probably will get pulled early. I wish I had a spare 10k lying around.

Thanks, Phil _________________________________________________ Looking for any old pumps, or nice 5 gallon cans.

What the “GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR” is up with these stupid people doing things like this?????????
He says: "The major part of the inner pumping pump was removed to make the pump lighter but the case with the handle shaft is there for the handle to mount to. "
I wonder if it is just an excuse for a missing pump unit. But then again there is a dummy at an antique shop here in Topeka that keeps cutting out the light switches & conduit on electric T-39 & 36-B type pumps and scraping them. He says “oh well everyone just uses a modern push button switch mounted in the hole…” Yea, well I don’t because I restore the old switches to work again on every pump I re-build because they look right, work right and are just RIGHT. On these old visible pumps I even restore the pumping units to pump again with brand new packing.
Stupid, Stupid, Stupid people!!!

I am having a very hard time getting them cut to size without breaking them. I am getting about 1 good one out of 3 tanks. When these break they break like they are made of safty glass so they don't crack - they just blow up. I am working on this project and it is looking up.
