A Vendo 39 and a Newbie

 but it was the only thing that would bring back the shine and smooth it out.  It waxed up nice after that.

       And you just made yourself over $1K profit.
       Now put a for sale sign on that baby, cuz' you need to make room in the garage for an 81.

Well there's the problem.  How many more 39's am I going to stumble on in a barn?  It will look good next to an 81.    Space is an issue though.  Now if I was that V63 to the left of the 39 in the picture I would be worried.

Shed!!!?... That 39 belong in the living room! (good Luck with that)
Wow what a great looking machine... You did really well... that is a keeper! congrats on the score!

Thanks, but we'll see how good I did after I fix the demolished service cord (thanks to a farm goat) and try to fire this baby up.  Let's hope I like 39 warm Cokes.

the Glasco and 63 may be nice but you'll stumble onto more of them... those would go before the 39.. and yes it'll look awesome beside a 81 or a 72 or between a 81 and 72!

Did I miss it or was there never a picture of the pump?

Gas pump.

[Jared]

i agree with eric move the other to on keep that great looking 39 and close the deal on the 81

The gods are smiling on you sir!! The pump is 30's. My guess is Tolkium (sp). If the globe is original that's $200 minimum. The folks over at oldgas.com may or may not assist. It's worth try. Congrats!

Pretty sure that globe is an $89 repop. Pictures are not very good but something looks weird to me. The visi appears too small and no glass. Possibly some kind of filter just repurposed to look like a visi.

Creighton is right the guys on oldgas really know their stuff, they can identify a pump and any issues it may have from a mile away

       There is a 99% chance that compressor is just fine.

 

I hoped you were right.  You were! I Replaced the service cord, plugged it in and it fired right up and cycled like it was 1953.  Try that with a "made in Korea" Kenmore fridge that many of us have in our Kitchens.
