Well I finally finished my first gas pump. It is a Tokiem 39 and turned out great. Not much to a gas pump. It was fairly easy and fun to restore. Now I guess I need to get back to the soda machines. I have a 7-Up Vendo 110 that I am putting back together, and then I am going to tackle that Pepsi United machine next.  drinking

Looks Great Rod, not that I'd expect anything less from you biggrin
gas pumps are easy and fun, and nothing better than a Vintage pump to go in the collection.

Looks great Rod! I love old gas pumps. That is a great model also. When I was a kid my Dad bought a flatbed truck full of Tokiem 39's and Bennets (cant remember model). Everyone in our neighborhood thought we were crazy  biggrin

Having  seen your work in person, I bet it looks killer in  real life.
Did you also restore the thatreseats next to the pump?
