I got this extractor from a forum friend in hometown. To him, this is an old junk, i wanted to buy from him, but he got his new stainless steel extractor at a dirt cheap price. So instead of selling it, he gave it to me. Treated him a drink n had a good chat with him. Well the extractor have been used a year and kept a year b4 it reach my hand. So I need to remove the rust b4 installation.
