Title: Latest Restoration project.. Gas pump Post by: SIGNGUY on October 30, 2009, 01:16:52 pm Thought I'd share the latest project that I just finished up last night.. Not a soda machine I know ,but know that many of you like the gas pumps like I do as well.
This is a Bennett 756 short pump, customer brought it to me to restore, see the before and after.

Gas pump Post by: Larry on October 30, 2009, 01:45:33 pm I probably would have tossed the unrestored pump in the trash. What a turn around. Nice job!!

Title: Re: Latest Restoration project.. Gas pump Post by: mznb1u on October 31, 2009, 03:03:22 pm Love that gas pump! When I was a kid I was fascinated by the big dinosaur at the Sinclair gas stations. I think I was about six years old and my dad sent me down the block from his drugstore to the Sinclair Station get a gallon of gas for our lawn mower. I told the attendant "25 cents worth, please!" When he finished filling it up he said, "That will be 50 cents!" I would love to have a picture of the look on my face. It would have been the look of sheer panic :oh: because I only had a quarter in my pocket. The attendant laughed and the told me it was just a quarter!
Boy those were the days! :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Latest Restoration project.. Gas pump Post by: Yarochrehc on October 31, 2009, 04:42:30 pm Yes they were. I also remember that it only took about $5.00 to fill to tank of your car!
