thats interesting Bob... because the same collectors in the 50s and 60s probably used this era as the point of reference when talking about the 'new' collectors not wanting a pump that has been gutted.

however, here it is 2014. and for the most part, I don't think anyone is going to turn down a pump they want because it is gutted. I'm sure it will be the same way in 2040, and gutted pumps will still continue to thrive in the hobby just as well as non-gutted.
