Hi Folks,

I obtained this electric pump last week alongside two others. However, I cant seem to get this one going! Does anyone by any chance recognise a possible brand / creator?

Many thanks,

Ryan :)

Looks like the one I have made by Quality props.

Thanks Graham - do they have a website? When I google search I get all sorts - including electric manure pumps! (Although I'm sure I could fit one into my act somewhere....)

I thought they stopped trading a few years back.

Yes that is a Quality Props pump

Quality Props was run by Dave Shaw, in Coventry, and they made fantastic Illusions.

Dave and his wife Joy worked a great Illusion show on the ships, and when they retired from working the show, he built illusions, and as he was a performer himself, his props were made with the knowledge of a working pro...for example all his illusions with wheels on used castors with brakes, so they don't run away with the girl in when the ship rolls !!

When I did a bit of Magic, I had a lot of props from Dave, and have his phone number. I have not seen him for years now, but message me and I will give you his last known number
Kind regards
Kevin

Where are you based Ryan, I could bring mine to a care & share day and we could try my battery and charger to see what is wrong with the one you have.

Hi Pam, is yours not playing game as well?

I'm yet to contact them, have you managed too? I was literally just wondering if it would be better to wait until you hear back rather than me pestering them asking (what I believe) similar questions!
Many thanks,

Ryan

Well I managed to attach a battery from another pump I have and it now works beautifully! (Don't know why I didn't think of it in the first place!) Just need to do the permanent swap or purchase a new battery.

Any ideas on which ones to go for?

Cheers,

Ryan
