I picked up this GB last weekend and I'm not sure if it's worth fixing or selling for parts. you can see the skins are in bad shape at the bottom. I think the rest of the parts are in a couple of boxes that I need to pick up but I have no clue how to put it togethor. What do you think?

I restored one like this about three years ago. It too was in bad shape at the bottom and with a lot of welding and glass I was able to make it look pretty good. I would definetely keep it or send it to KY to me.
Thanks, Phil

Looks to be missing lots of parts I would use it for trading material or part it out, if you are a patient persone you can watch ebay and piece it back to gether. A harsh reality in this hobby is that there has to be parts pumps to finish the better pumps. My oppinion is to part the rougher stuff to fix the better stuff, and if it helps someone else finish there project even better. This is just my oppinion.
Thanks

Well I guess we need to see the rest of the parts in boxes because I dont see a pump, jarlid, base for the cylinder, a cylinder, gallon markers, the cylinder rods, the pipe that slides up and down to select the amount of gas, electrical. If more is there but not in the pics it may be differnt. But from what I see missing are the expensive items, Exspecialy if you want orrignal. There is always more than one way to see thing and this is like I said just my oppinion, but definatly needs more than a cylinder from what I can see.
Thanks
Brandon
