Oh... I found a 615 version in slightly better appearance but the owner said it had been gutted to loghten the load. He was using it for a decoration. I thought about just getting that one and putting modern pump works in it just to have a "working" pump. It would be easier, however... now I am bitten by the bug. I guess this equates to like having a model T and restoring it yourself. Are the manual versions easier to work on? Less parts to deal with? 'Cause this looks like a technical nightmare in an industrial revolution kind of style. Seems that from what I can tell, the operator would work a handle on the side and that works a piston valve that controls air to a piston type air pump that assists in stoking the piston type pump that actually pumps the gas up from the tank to the glass?
