Good evening, everybody, This is my second Monitor, acquired unexpectedly in Poland. ( The first one was presented HERE ). It was in a very good condition - not in a virgin shape, like @prescall presented this year HERE, but obviously used few times only. Contrary to this owned by John it has only one decal - typical for this brand, it is only painted. The MONITOR decal is in better condition than this present on my first copy: But the difference is not that big. Stammped inscriptions are barely visible due to the layer of paint ( very good paint - resistent even to aggresiv solvents ) The rest of details corresponds to those of John's copy The only difference is the number stammped on the hexagonal part of the pump: I had to exchange NRV pip in the pump, safety valve pip in the filler cap and a pump washer. The pump washer is of my production and I'am proud of it - I started to make leather washers made from old leather case. Some of them you can see below: Three from the left are for standard pumps and the bigger one is a spare part for Hasag. Thanks for watching. CU
Very nice Monitor, Stanislaw. There are many interesting stoves in our backyard. Pump cups also excellently made. Greetings Stanisław
@Stanisław Grajewski a very nice example of a military issued Monitor, the paint work is in good condition for 67 years , and its all so nice to have the decal still present and in good condition with little loss, well done Stanislaw another great addition to your collection
@Blackdog You’re right, but I think, that removal of the pump is a kind of challenge - this is my experience. Hjort had a good idea introducing 1896 NRV mounted from the other side. Stanisław
@Stanisław Grajewski I agree those external NRVs are hard to beat, but I must say I've had no trouble with these types of pump tubes, I've serviced quite a few and they've all come apart and sealed back up again without trouble... so far!
