Need Gas Pump Help. National A62 Question

[loman4ec]

I have a chance to pick up a National A-62 gas pump locally for about $300. It has been totally disassembled but it is complete and rust free. All of the glass is there and it comes with a nice Flying A reproduction globe. Is this pump worth anything? Does it have any collectibility? Can I would be buying for possible resale. Any Info would be greatly appreciated. The attached pic is just of what they look like. This is not the actual pump.

Joey,
Regarding the A62 pump.. the reproduction globe is worth 90-100 bucks alone (thats what they cost new) The Add glass if reproduction is $30 each, and other parts are quite worth the 300 asking price...
The A38 pump is it's bigger brother and worth well over 1000 in unrestored condition..
So to answer your question for 300.. yes buy it.. if you chose to sell restored or unrestored you'll make $$$

Good luck!

I agree with John. For $300 you can't go wrong on too many pumps in that era. It's not that big or small of a pump. Go for it.
 Are you looking at resale or keeping it?

Well I am going to go get it tomorrow morning. I hope its nice!

just make sure all part are there---missing parts can get costly if you can find them--as for the a-62

it a good pump to have--cheap at 300.00  go for it

agree with everyone... also make sure the Veeder-Root (The "computer") is intact, and even better if it spins from below and resets... if you're not already on the forum, oldgas.com is a great resource...

Yup those National "A" series pumps are very collectible and worth some money. Buy it!

Well I went and got it. Its not too bad of a pump. It is just about all there as far as I can tell. It is totally taken apart. The add glass at the top is perfect and I imagine they are reproductions as they look flawless. It is missing one add glass in the middle of one panel. Is that common for the front doors to be different on a pump. I attached pics below. I just put everything together to snap a pic. Nothing is bolted together. The add glass is "Flying A" and the globe is red Indian so I guess I will need a new globe. The glass in the globe is perfect but the ring has yellowed bad. Did I do well?

I've been looking for a pump for some time now, and I think you got a great deal on that one.  I would have jumped on that if I had the chance.

Looks good, nice find!
