Attached is a photo of my Aqua 455 which was truly my buy of the year and an acquisition that would not have been possible without Oldgas. The pump was sold to me by Oldgas member MetroPetro (Ed) whom I’ve known for several years. Ed was kind enough to post a picture of a recent acquisition under buys of the week and begrudgingly sold the pump to me after a little begging on my part. One of the first things I needed to find were a pair of convex face lens, which I got after getting a lead from Oldgas member Yeley 101 who recommended I contact the Ronell Clock Company in Oregon. Ronell has all kinds and sizes of glass lens that are reasonably priced. I also needed a glass face retainer ring. I received a message from Oldgas member indymike500 who suggested I reach out to Jim Bernotas, who owns The Custom Shop in North Amherst, Oregon. Jim had no problem making a snap ring to my specifications and is an expert at making one off parts at his machine shop.
Now all I need to find is a visi gauge!
The Oldgas web site is amazing!
