    Greetings folks,

    I recently acquired this plated TL120. My question is, should the pump be entirely plated?

    Thanks, Stevie.

    Probably, but the pump might be a mishmash of two different pumps... :-k

    Absolutely. Haven’t had one up close before, hence my question…

    @ColinG I’m going to have to get a mop for polishing!

    I agree it's a nice lamp to have in one's collection.
