I have a bennett 788 that has a more modern looking meter attached to the top. Just wondering what was on top of the 788? I do have pics if somone would like a visual.
Thanks
Dave

IF, the meter [approx. 4"H x 6"D x 10/12"L] is on TOP where the globe should be, you have a commerical pump & it is probly approx. 4 1/2 ft tall w/ solid door panels. Am I correct ?
You can replace the meter with a plate & add a globe. IF you can locate a couple of bottom damaged 5' doors, they can be shortened to fit. Then add a computer & faces.

WOW
Spot on, no meter just blank doors and the " box meter on top", Thanks. So that is original? Im thinking a globe would look kinda cool on top.
Thanks
Dave

They also make nice little showcase pumps by doing a cutout in door panel & adding glass shelves.

Counter is on top, meter is on the inside.
If it has a numbers, it is a non-computer,
computer or a counter or a clock. The meter measures the fluid.
The really old pump mechanics still called computers, clocks.
You wouldn't call an engine a transmission would you?
I'll get you guys learned one day.

I can't help it.
I rebuilt meters for 15 years, and have been rebuilding computers for 20.
I would rather hear a computer called a clock than a meter.
I have never seen any literature on the pumps you are talking about Dick, what is the industry's name for the tanks with hand pumps on top???
