Title: My first gas pump restoration.
Post by: Funtronics on May 12, 2010, 01:29:42 pm
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?

Yes I also restored the theater seats. I use to restore a lot of antique furniture years ago.

Lookin' good Rod.  I need another gas pump project, looking for a clockface model.
