Do you have a ballpark of price?

How does a cider pump differ from a beer handpump?

I don't have even a ball part at this point mate until I know what the taxes and costs are going to be. 

They wont be bargains that's for sure, a shed load of work bringing them in and refurbishing them.  

Not sure about the cider pumps but I'm dead keen to find out!  I'm guessing they are under co2, not had time to ask but will make some time this weekend. 

I love me ciders I do :)

Getting used to no sleep now and started carrying a sketchbook with me...

I cleared space in the workshop for three handpumps, so might be buying some of these for me!

We also scored some gorgeous old tripple pumps that are being refurbished atm, free standing 3 1/2' tall, mahogany cases and weight about 40kg each.  Not sure they will make it this far before they are snapped up but will post some photos if they do.

I'll take that as not much interest

First batch is on its way and I'll run them through TM, see if I can get a feel of interest that way. 

No difference between cider and beer pump it seems, just the labels.

I'm quite interested :-) I'm looking forward to a lot of your stuff being ready for sale actually.

Ah right... different label! I could not really figure out what else would be different!
