Is the top part what's missing?? I thought what I was looking at was the top of the pump and that it had a globe holder.

This is what the complete pump looks like.

Ok. I think I got it now. Are the top parts reproduced? And what would you pay for justthe bottom portion?

Alex I could be wrong but it lookis like they cut the legs off the upper portion and moved the top down to the top of the bottom part of the pump. You will have to extend the legs again. The upper skins, face bezel, price bezel, clock faces, hands, and Universal sightglass are all repoped. The nozzle receiver is the only thing that I'm not sure is repoped. It will take a little work but they are a nice pump when they are done. I would not pay over $100 for the pump as is. Just my opion. Richard

I think that where the top is right now is where the upper sheet metal would bolt on,then the top would go back on top of that.Someone probably took the clockface out and upper sheet metal off.?

Alex..get that pump. Dick Bennett is right...mine looked almost exactly like yours when I bought it. Mow it looks like this:

with a lil work and some repop parts..that one can look like mine too. I posted how in one of the restoration of the month threads. I got my upper skins from Seth at Vics..He made a short run of them..he may have a set left..give him a call. They fit perfect. Go get it..the castings are the hard part and they are already there...I cant remember what I paid for my pump..i think like 2 or 3 hundred. Good luck, let us know if you get it and what pics of it restored.

There is NO frame in the upper section, only the pipe for the visi & conduit [not needed] will have to be extended.

Hubba,
You paid LESS than $200 for it.

You guys are great. Thanks for all the help. Am going to call Seth for some costs and availability of parts. I am also getting a price for a replacement pump and installation costs for them. They are still using this pump and it needs to be replaced.

Check with your local bulk oil distributor for a replacement pump.
GOOD LUCK
DB
