A few years ago I came up with the top section only to this 600. I've slowly been making progress with making parts,finding parts and having parts re-cast. It's just about ready to get serious with some paint after a couple of more things. I hope I can do a better job of adding pictures then I did last thread.

Ron Scobie re-cast the base for me from one of my other 600's and he supplied the pump handle and drain-back assembly, the pump came from a fellow Oldgasser(It took about 6 months of soaking in Aero-Kroil to get it freed up!), A local welder repaired the alignment/strength bracket and a local machine shop made the extensions that the pump mechanism sits on. Walt Feiger supplied me with the new skins for it that you can see in the background. So- Like somebody once said, don't crush, 'em restore 'em!!

Dayton 600s are cool. I would rather have one of them than a Roman.

Looks good, I used a set of skins from Walt on mine and they turned out great.
Thanks, Phil

A little more progress today on the 600. Fitting the skins takes a little while, but the extra effort up front should pay dividends down the road. I hope to be able to get all 3 of the pumps ready to paint at the same time. I think I'm going to paint them in some kind of a Gilmore scheme, but it's still evolving.
