I've seen cast aluminum from 60 to 350 so that's got me wondering 60 bucks there has to be something wrong there


Actually I'd be thinking that at 350 there's something wrong THERE !! The most I've seen any go for is just over $100 and that's for the MP housing.

don't know about electric....


I'm shocked MP no longer offers the housing & pump.That's I have ever used!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I believe they still sell the 8 blade aluminum pump, but the MP housing has been gone for awhile now.

I feel the old housing was overpriced at 150-160-something, but it had something going for it...it was cast and machined in California at Buddy Bar, and as far as I know it was the only domestic sourced new housing out there. Why was that never publicized? Too late now.

There's more, but I'll stop before saying something I will regret.

It's all water under the bridge and I've moved on to better things, but I swear I could write a book about my time there which would probably strir up all kinds of emotions LOL
