I bought one here in South Africa today - pics to follow - easiest the heaviest pump I have EVER had to move, the base casting is very substantial indeed, way way heavier than say a Wayne 505/605…!

Mine is in a bit of a state; missing both lower skins, the glass (Lexan? Acrylic? Polycarbonate?) is milky, and the top, well, that is gone…!

I figured the Triple VR was worth the low price - $50 - I paid for it, so,loaded it up.

This afternoon I stripped off a door, then disassembled the door to release the ‘glass’ (plastic), and to get to the perished rubber seal.ImTHINK I can source the rubber profile, and reckon I could get some acrylic BENT into the simple radius bend, and get 2 new ones made up.

Any and all suggestions welcome!

Another interesting fact; mine has the 4-roller HOSE RETRACTION mechanism bolted on, which Iam busy stripping.

What was REALLY interesting is the massive, ingenious ROLLER inside the cabinet, which manually ‘weighed down’ the hose, thus causing the auto-retraction- not a spring to be seen in sight!
