Collection of antique dental equipment. The compressor/vacuum pump, also treadle driven utilizes a round leather belt from a sewing machine. Belt tension is accomplished by the way the treadle drive is mounted in the base. The plastic tubing from the tip to the pump is not like the original but illustrates how the machine might have been used. The compressor/vacuum pump has an inline one way valve which allows either suction or presssure. I feel this would make an interesting display behind glass in a dentist office or in a museum. The treadle drive is S S White with the clasic symbol on the foot piece. All parts that rotate or move do smoothly, well oiled etc The pump and drive unit : It will fit in a box approx. 34" long, 18" wide, and 32" tall. the complete unit weighs #65 I RECOMMEND LOCAL PICK UP----HOWEVER I will pack for shipping and deliver to the UPS freight depot in Pueblo Colorado for $30.00 THE BUYER WILL PAY ALL SHIPPING AND INSURANCE COSTS
