Well I don't check in as much as before after reading a few threads...... geez what happened? Ripping Jack for stuff and selling tin sign of another person's pump!!!
Ok the pump was already gutted and looks to have been hit by a car! The wife bought this so it's in my shop so I've decided to make a display cabinet.

I have a few more pics here http://s228.photobucket.com/user/oldgoal...rt=3&page=1

Complaints please send them to Mr. Dick Bennett way out west. USA <grin>

After doing some searching on here I thought that might be the case, so is that a M&S top? I'm thinking of a station lighter, chances are slim of finding one cheap enough for this tightwad to buy, but a rusted or dented one may be good!

Nice to see a farm pump identical to mine. I've had mine dissembled for a few months now, (no pump inside, it's gutted). One day this year or next I'm going to restore mine into a sinclair pump. I have a reproduction globe for it already, and some ad glass im going to fit in aswell.

Any idea's what colour combo your going to make you display pump into? It'll be cool to see what your finish product will look like.

Thanks Jack!
Dick that is common stuff used around here a pic to prove that point!

This is the insides of a swarf separator that sits in a 6 gal bucket for the vacuum so when I clean up the mill and lathes, the metal chips aka swarfs don't ruin the filter.
And all done with out the Handyman's secret weapon Duct tape!

Dave, I'm going for a glass door, couple of cabinet light, 3 glass shelves, might use lexan? I have a multicolor Col-Tex sign and that would be what I will go with. I'll be happy to get it in primer! keep the new parts from getting rusty!

Find another cabinet & stack for a larger display area.
Place Mirrors on the inside sides to reflect the lighting.
