A couple of years back an Aussie brewer mate of mine popped back over to the UK for a visit with his family up in the Midlands
During a swift few pints of Salopian in the Star, Phill mentioned he was after a Beer Engine in Australia, but new ones were up in the hundreds of dollars over there and there was no way he was paying that
A few minutes later the landlord plonked a battered looking pump on the bar - “it’s been in the cellar for a few years, and it last had cider through it, but you’re welcome to it”
Phill took it back to Adelaide, cleaned it up as best he can, but it needs a dispensing tube and a sparkler (being from the West Country, I’ve tried to persuade him not to ruin his beer be running it through one of those infernal devices, but he wants it as an option J )
Apparently it has HOMARK stamped on the side and serial number 64497 – anyone know where I could get the parts for him to get this up and working? What else is missing from the picture to make it work. He works for Coopers, so has access to all the other barrel/line related stuff he reckons
Homark Beer Engine parts?

Re: Homark Beer Engine parts?
im just a hand pump wanna be owner so i have no authority on the subject
by dispencing tube do u mean a tube between the cylinder and spout, looks like 1/2" pvc beerline would work with the hosetails, or silicone tube???
Or are u looking for new SS swan neck tube to replace the plastic spout?
ebay has screw on sparlkers fairly often tho they do seem to want more than a fiver a pop for em which seems a bit rich for a diddy placky screw on bit.
good luck..
