Anyone looking for a Beer Engine/Hand Pump, have a look on normannumpta...

I bought one recently and while it is a fabulous piece of kit, I paid a lot for it.
Looking at Norman, he offers quite good value for anyone looking to take the plunge into this aspect of brewing.

Gone, bad time of night to be messing with a phone with an eBay and PayPal app haha

Let's just say Norms price is quite a bit less than what I paid.
Yup, shipping is a big issue, lots of sellers don't ship, collection only.

He has an Angram QC (quarter pint pull) for £90. Not a great price considering Angram were selling factory refurbed QCs for £120.

I bought my QC on ebay, never used, for £60. But shipping was the problem.

Ya, and they've been out of stock for 3 months 1 week 3 days and countin

Ah nice one - thanks! We got to borrow one recently and it was amazing tasting our beer through it.

Just be patient and keep an eye on ebay. I got one for £40 delivered. Just needed cleaning. Amazing piece of kit. Sticker says 1979 Angram. Wooden handle. A thing of beauty.

Tried uploading a pic there but too large. I have an idea..

Any tips for purchasing one of these magnificent beasts? They seem to range from £40-120!

Obvs would like to get a bargain but don't want to buy a wreck! Is there anything to look out for?

Happy to take delivery of one if anyone wants.

Thanks Shane - we were actually looking at these two the other night but thought they looked to good to be true when compared to others going for £120.

Good stuff - will keep checking the price and maybe get a bid in!
