i have an erie 80 that i would really like to find faces for but i cant find them. has anyone ever made a face for their pump? like painting a peice of steel with multiple coats of glossy paint and drilling the hole for the clock mech and making a stencil for the rest? id like to attempt this and if anyone could send me a straight on picture of a face for this pump i'd really appreciate it. any tips would be appreciated too. thanks

He needs clock faces. It looks like Ron only has computer faces.

LH:

If you can supply a high resolution shot of an original face - I can certainly replicate it for you. All I need is one good photo from directly on to the face and a few reference dimensions.

Then you just mount the decal to your substrate and you're golden.

Price would be $30.00 each + $6.50 S&H per order.

Joe is Correct.
The Bowser 300 is the only pump I know of where both faces run Clock-wise when viewing.

Not to steal the thread, I have an old St.Louis pump, can one clean up a picture using a graphics or picture edit software? (well if they were good at it) tt falling further behind everyday!

Okay - then I would need a photo of both sides. LOL

Oldgoaly: I just need visual reference to recreate the art - I don't 'clean up' a photograph, I create new crisp artwork that replicates the original faceplates/ad glass/decals/etc.
