It does raise an interesting question, which of the four blowers is the rarest?
Judson
M.A.G
Pepco
Shorrack
(Are there others)

Yeah, I just noticed that.
If someone is going to put somthing on ebay without a buy-it-now price, they should let the auction run its course without selling it prior to the end of the auction. That pisses me off. |

Well you can rule the Judson out of the rarest equation...how many do you want?...NOS?... no problem  |
I thought the Judson would be the most common......

I've owned a few MAG superchargers... have one going on a 36hp okrasa setup. In total, I think I can count about 10 that I've seen, maybe upwards of 20 if I think about ones I've seen in magazines. The one on ebay recently was a nice complete set. I was pondering whether to stay up until 2 in the morning to try and snipe it. I too wish people would let auctions run their course if they didnt put it up for buy it now. Oh well, I really didnt need another!
Shorrock are on about the same count. I've only owned two of these as they are a bit more expensive. (oh yes, one is currently for sale!)
Pepcos are fairly common. I think I've owned about 15 of them now, both with the flat front for a VW and with the 6" drive snout for a crosley motor. They are good little units. If you want one, just be patient. My last spare unit was just sold.
... and I've NEVER owned a judson! go figure.
As per the most rare, try finding an Arnott.

I remember seeing that.
Pepco was bought by Crofton sometime in 60 or 61...

So, money not withstanding, if you were going to build a dream car which would you go for, Judson, MAG, Shorrock, or Pepco? |

I'm building my mag supercharged 36hp okrasa motor for my low light vert, the double cab will have a vintage 2l motor with twin pepco superchargers and the shorrock is being saved for a 40hp project to someday go into a 61 flipseat westy (still need to find the bus).
I think the shorrock is the nicest of all the units but appreciate the roots type blower designs of the mag and pepco.
So how's that for not answering your Q?

I own a number of VW Superchargers, but I think the Shorrock is the best engineered of them all.
Here is a pic of my Shorrock for my Empi GTV.

John,
My guess is either by chance a previous owner was named Judson and put his name on it for some reason, or it was rebuilt by a company by the name of Judson and stamped to mark his work.
Just a coincidence.
