Everyone needs one or three Empire pumps. They do look better with the paint removed like you’ve done.

I bought  my Tarot engine based on your recommendation years ago Jim. I have been amazed at the quality & precision running then, & I still love the engine now. (Think I need to get it down & give er' a run)
