This is actually A TRUE STORY.  Out of about 100 things I have collected over the last 12 years, my wife loves Eco 98 air meters.  I had to sell mine 7 years ago to buy my hotrod (1931 Olds) and she has never forgiven me.  You would think with Seeburg jukeboxes, gas pumps, Stoner candy machines, soda machines my basement malt shop etc that she would like something other than an Eco 98.  Well, I finally got around restoring one I have had in the warehouse and gave it to her.

Merry Christmas and enjoy the pics.  Notice it is under the tree.

Well that makes the Xmas shopping easy!  Those pumps are killer, I am always on the lookout for them, but the fetch a pretty penny.  Nice job on the resto!

Roadman,

Stop by and see it.  Mike did a great job on the chrome and Scotty did and awesome paint job.  I pretty much screwed everything else up but Ingrid cant find my mistakes.
