So I decided to call up Ron Scobie and make an order from both new glasses for the visi, a reset crank, and a couple ID tags to finish out the pump. I used some wood stain and some frosted glass spray paint to give me the older used look of an original visi and I think it came out great! Then I had some paint matched where I wotk to match the old red paint and its almost spot on. Just sharing the completed project. I really like this pump now. Enjoy. Braden Splichal
