I have to say, the Big Giant can move! 

I am hoping the original piston will work as well as the "spare" I have on now but I need a gasket.  The original one still has some gold paint on it and it doesn't have a fitting at the end for the shaft pivot (the piston rod is just drilled with a hole).  Frank's shipment just left Indianapolis, so either it is going to NC first or straight to Georgia - doesn't matter I'd be lucky if I get it by the end of the week.  I am getting 5 inches of glass tube (for my #17 & other #14) and some 1/2" ID Teflon Gaskets.

I am going to be sooo upset if that reproduction weight doesn't show, it was the last the seller had of that style.  Though I'd really love to have one of those circle ones.
