I know this is off topic but there are a few of you out there that also have a interest in vintage Gas (petrol) Pumps.
I have found this on Ebay UK
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Petrol-....iewItem
and I'm thinking of having a little nibble. I know absolutely nothing about Pumps other than they look great all restored and that there might be a small space in my gameroom where it could sit.
Are there repro parts available for gas pumps??? Is this a common make/model??? Is there anything that I need to ask about condition/missing parts??
The seller says its complete but I have no idea what I'm looking at. I take it that the restoration process removes the inards so I don't really need to concern myself about workability.
Any help, as always gratefully appreicated.
BTY - The lottery rolled over again last week now a whopping £125 million. So, this Friday I might be taking orders again.
Thanks
Dave

Looks to be a good pump for restoration!
If the pump was in use, this may mean the electric motor is in working order; these make great bench grinders/polishers!
If the item is fairly close to you, I would bid!

It is as addicting as candy machines and soda machines.
Get hooked!! Good luck. I know a couple of good divorce attorneys.
