I have a stainless Autosiphon made by Swagman years ago.  I never really used it much at all, but it is REALLY well made.  Since it is an awesome piece made by a former member here (RIP), I thought I would offer it here before opening it up to the unwashed masses on ebay.  I paid 75 bucks with shipping.  I am not looking to cash in or anything especially not on you guys, but not ready to give it away either.  

 

PM me if interested with a reasonable offer. I can send pics too, I just havent taken any yet.

I have one of those. Did it actually work for you? Mine never did.

Yea, the seal o-ring was/is really tight, but it worked for me as I recall.  Some keg-lube goes a long way to help that.  I might actually have used it with a batch once.  I will definitely verify it works before selling to Schwantz. :D

I remember seeing at least one of those in his detached garage/workshop/brewery.  He was a good guy to have for a friend.

I only met Swagman once, but he was a memorable guy! I have a keggle that he cut the top out of (the ENTIRE top... not just a hole!) and welded fittings on.
