I was looking at my pump today. As I was disassemble the top. It has the lid. The l8ght housing wich is a manifold for a light on each side and one for the globe. Then the fixture that holds the globe and that's all there is
No possible way to have a dome that I can see
Was there pump that were made without domes??

My manifold for the conduit and the 3 lights looks somewhat close to this setup

That's 100% correct for that pump. The jar lid is also the dome on most Fry visible pumps. the manifold serves as lighting conduit and vent for the cylinder.

My pump is not a fry pump. It's a martain Swartz
Just have not seen any other pumps that did not have a dome

Here is what I been messing with. I put a couple bolts in it to hold togeather so they will get changed out
But....now I am confused. What are the 3 bolt holes on the outside flange of the part that holds the globe??

Those holes probably hold the dome top on. There is probably a large hole in the dome that fits over the globe base. I have never owned a MS visible so it is just a guess. Richard

That orange top isn't the same as the green pump you first posted.
