Looking for an older unrestored Eco...not a 98...but the older clock face type. Serious buyer, have cash ready. PM me or reply here, thanks.

Are you looking for a 37 series or earlier?

Gotta admit..don't know my model numbers..just don't want another 98...want one with the clockface dial. If you got a 37 for sale fire me off a pic...just might be what I'm looking for. Thanks a bunch.

The best way to learn the ECO model numbers is to buy my Air Meter Identifidation book. Over 400 air meters listed in the book, with 98 ECO models shown (with value).

One recommendation for anyone buying a air meter today (this is stated in my book). Don't buy an incomplete meter expecting someone to sell you the parts that you need. It seems that everyone is sitting on some kind of meter needing parts, waiting for someone else to sell him the parts. I am the only one known who has ever parted out four ECO Islander parts. Parts for older models are just not out there and you might be sitting on something for a long time looking for parts.

Everyday older eco's are being found in all types of condition, there are actually many people out there selling used parts.

I am of the same opinion as KZ1000. Buy what you like because with the "power of the internet" under your finger tips you can and will "find anything" now a days. No matter how rare or difficult to find the item is. Collections that use to take years to put together can now be put together in weeks if not days.

Before I use put on a lot more miles on my truck. Now you don't even have to leave the comfort of your home. But I must say; I didn't mind the gas bill as much as I dislike shipping charges.

It's a buyer's market right now. In this economy presently cars and other collectibles can be had for 50 cents or better on the dollar. You can buy them done cheaper then you can restore. These are high end restorations.
