Re: Mystery option Vacuum Gauge?

Tim, I just talked to Dennis. He said there was a guy workin for him that made the moulds. And when that guy quit he threw away the moulds. Dennis was quite distressed over it. Dennis also said no one wanted to pay back then. So no moulds anymore......Bruce

Re: Mystery option Vacuum Gauge?

I guess you could say the mystery is solved. The label which is barely readible says vacuum gauge, but according to the restoration guy it was added by someone after the original printing. The font does not match and he thinks maybe someone took an old typewriter apart and inked and hand pressed the letters and numbers. They are not even and of the same depth as the original label. Cost me $79.00 to find fraud! Kind of funny actually! Oh for those not named chipflyer I took it to a document/painting restoration guy and he cleaned it up a little better to read what my cleaning damaged. Someone painted over my original spid.

My bet would be not a king of the job site, but king of the camp ground.
