What I was saying was $35 for the little pump is kindof steep, esp for a very old, but otherwise good saw.
An alternative is to buy a parts saw for maybe $40 and you get a whole saw for parts, with every conceivable part you might ever want, though they'll probably have a scored piston or crank.
The third choice is a used working saw. I see 2 right now on ebay for 40 or $50. guaranteed to work, though the bids could go higher.
So all I was saying is that for a very old saw that seemed a little rich, esp when you can buy a used, fully working complete saw for around $50!!! But that is of course the beauty of buying used....though there are risks as well.:smile2:
P.S. I think the smart guys who are parting out saws in large volume are making tons of dough, but good for them!
