I know this must look un-impressive, but I'm so glad that this thing is coming together. This was the biggest screw job that I ever had done to me by buying this off of Ebay. My sister picked it up in Dallas for me and held it in San Antonio until we could come down and pick it up. It was 4 or 5 months after the auction ended before I saw it in person, too late to do anything about it except maybe drive up to Dallas and have a chat(Karen wouldn't let me!). All that was there was the base, the fiberglass repaired skins, the jar base and lid, and the dome. I've spent the last 6 years SLOWLY gathering the parts and I can finally make it into a real pump again. I want to thank the fellow OldGassers for their help with getting this going. Dave
