old parts

Post by franz »

Wow, looking back at those old parts bring back memories of the 70's and early 80's. I havent seen the Beam 450 in close to 20 years now. I would be highly suspect if repair parts were even available anywhere.

Impco bought out Beam about 10 years ago and obsoleted duplicated product application lines (whatever Impco had that would fit an application, the applicable Beam item would be obsoleted if it was no less expensive). Many Beam, Algas, Garretson, and other brands all but disappeared with a few line item exceptions, mostly in small engine applications.

The large mixer is one I am having problems identifying, it looks like an old Beam Auto-Air, plus there is a venturi ring that looks out of place.

that kit was bought mainly for the hoses and fittings. i just bought a impco 425 mixer and impco model E. so far i got about $400.00 in the conversion. i still need a tank set up but thats for later. heres the kit i just bought. Image i also got rebuild kits for them.
