Hello,
Anyone have a visi gauge for this pump they would part with?
Also, any information on the correct one would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave (805) 441-1165

This is the style visi gauge that you are needing for your Erie. Ron Scobie has the reproduction available.

Dave-- the visi that Bruce has pictured, was definitely used on Erie 753's, but it was kind of a rare item. Here is a picture of the visi that was more commonly used, and can generally be found fairly easily. Note that the spinner has 5 blades on it, and there is a provision in the top cover to mount the little sign. This sign on top is a reproduction, but there were originals with a glass covered pricer sign above the lettering! I have included a picture of my original that has the pricer connected!
Hope this helps!

Dave,
If you don't find an original I have the paddle wheel style available in cast iron and the price sign with cards available in bronze, aluminum and die cast. I still have some of the round bronze ones available also. Please call or email (no PM's please). The cast iron ones have all the holes drilled (the one shown here does not). I have glass cylinder also.

Ron,
Thank you for the info on what you have to offer and keeping us all in parts.
Both styles look great. I like the round ones since they are uncommon to most of the cylinder type visi gauges. Do you have a polisher you use For the brass one ?
Dave
