Mini pump part P71 model

I got one of these in one of Jin's auctions a few days ago and really looking forward to receiving it.

Does anyone else have one?

Double acting gear reduction pumping system. I could have wished that the drive pulley were a bit bigger in diameter for more leverage and reduction, which may or may not prove to be desirable.

I do have a couple that I'm almost embarrassed to say how little I paid for them.

However, I still have not hooked them up and given them any kind of a test.

It is my hope that they will provide adequate pressure to work as a boiler feedwater pump, but if not, then perhaps they will be destined to form the heart of a fountain of some sort?!?!

I could have written the same thing Daniel did. Have one , never hooked it up yet.

Thanks Daniel and Bruce.

Jin's new 'Speedpak' postal service that he is using now is incredible, I'm getting parcels from him from auctions in as little a 4-5 days now.
