Tom,
I can't help but agree, mate.
I spent quite a bit of the first part of my working life filling and testing Steel Breathing Apparatus Cylinders.
Getting a bit off topic here , but we used to X-Ray them.
To have a BA Cylinder explode on your back, would be unthinkable.
Alan,
You compare the build quality of the Pressure Switch there and that of today, in some cases I don't think that there is any competition.
This stuff looks like it's hand-made?
Even to the extent that the castings, while you have to be careful with any cast stuff, look top notch. [Linked Image]
BTW Alan, have you had the motor to pieces yet?
I have a mate who is a motor rewinder by trade(Phil) and he has worked all over the world, he could give you a hand with sorting out the motor part of it.
