Rebuilding Imperial Eastman Manifold Guage Set!

[seagiant]

Hi,
I came across an old but good brass Imperial 400 gauge set.

Has no hoses, I want to see if I can set it up.

I have a good Yellow Jacket gauge set already, but hate to see the Imperial just laying around.

I see these new manifold hoses on Ebay, I assume are made in CHINA and was wondering if they are worth buying for this old gauge.

The Yellow jacket hoses are about 3 times the price, any ideas on this is appreciated!

Depend on your plans for it, If it is going to sit around and look nice on a wall, fine, if you are going to use it, it only takes blowing one end off while under pressure to make those cheaper hoses not look so good.

Hi,
Thanks, I was wondering what kind of reputation they had.
