Can any one tell me the value of a restored Bennett 150 clock face pump, Restored condition, complete. Are there any certain serial numbers that are more valuable than others? What can you tell me??

Restored is a verry subjective word. Many peoples idea of restored could varry greatly. Post a picture if you want a more accurate awnser.

Here is a picture of the pump as it sits, we are looking at purchasing the pump and restoring it. We are a body shop who will restore it the correctly. When restored what would be a fair price. Also what would be a fair price as the pump sits. It looks to be complete apart from the motor in the bottom is not there, the clock mech is there, and has broken site glass.

It is hard to put a price on a restored pump, most people want to restore it themself and put on there own color scheme. I dont see the sight glass that's important and a bit costly to find but in that condition what I can see I would say 750.00 to 1000.00

No one can give you a value on something that does not exist.

Until the pump is 'completely restored' and we can see how nicely it was done, we can't give you a value.

I've seen 'professionsl paint jobs' that were excellent - and many that were not. Just because you have a body shop doesn't guarentee a good job.

Later . . .

As is, depends on condition and we can't see all of the sheet metal but if the bottom skins are good, I'd think that around $1000 is pretty close.
