Ron Bettin had a Paraland globe for sale on his website. Don't know if it is still available but there is a photo. Under the globe listing click on the Paraland and a photo should come up. Web site is www.oilsign.com

I only tried one visible. I ended up tradeing it, that sealer around the glass is fire clay thats around old fire boxes, if you take to much off one side the other will pop on you, if you happen to brake it Ron Scobie has them (repos) at the best price. good luck on it,

There was just a write up in a recent issue of pcm. It explained in detail how to remove the glass without destroying it. I thought it was very informative.

fourth pump after almost 2 years was good.

Greg, You do have a tough decision to make. We're all envious of your problem.
I have a GB 176 and a Wayne 615 like yours. Great looking pumps! I left my cylinder and rods alone and got the 10 inch or so plate off that is on top of the cylinder that has the 4 inch or so glass in it that lets light shine down from the globe. Take your time and soak the bolts up with a good penetrating oil several days before attempting to loosen them. If you would twist one off it could be drilled out though. You can then remove the gallon markers to clean them up. I used CLR and several types of dish soap to clean the inside of the cylinder. Be careful breathing fumes of strong cleaners or muratic acid which cleans rust off metal and the varnish off of the glass really well but will eat up your gallon markers. I used a garden hose and flushed it all out the bottom of cylinder through the hose connection. This is a tedious job and helps to have long arms but I was afraid of damaging the cylinder by removing it like Dwaine mentioned. Original cylinders, as you know, are scarce and expensive. In my opinion, removal of a good cylinder is a last resort. I've heard too many stories of them cracking even when taking the rods loose. If some of the sealer is missing I would ad silicone to those gaps and paint it along with the original. After you have the inside of the cylinder clean you can line the inside with newspaper and paint the fill/breather pipes. When all done replace the plate with a silicone seal to keep it clean.
Good luck! Let us know how you got along and post more pics.
