Just thought I'd post whats been going in my shop these past few months.. Should have most done by Christmas.. the Pumps are done, the v81 and 39 are 95% done and the Pepsi 88 just needs reassembly... I'm working on all of these at the same time,, hope I got all the parts in the right spot! hopefull biggrin
I might have a Bennet Gas pump that dispenses bottles and a Vendo 39 that pumps gas.. hmmm  oops

Nice job!  I take it you just use the same red for the Coke machines and gas pumps (is it called Texaco red or Coke red upside ?).

No, actually it they are two different shades, the Coke Red is color matched to an original machine and have been using that red for years, the Texaco red is a different shade, close but it is different... That red is color matched to the reproduction Texaco Colors so that it matches and look right when they are paired together.. Photos can vary depending on the light.. Thanks for the comments.

excellent work!!

Isn't just amazing how many different shades of red there is. And I used to think that Coke red and Texico red were the same. Heck, I thought they were the same and they were a primary color (primary red) like on the color charts in art..

Those look great John! I really like that shade of blue on the 88. Do you have the code for it?

thanks Guys... The 39, 88 MS 80 and benny 966 pumps all belong to a customer.. did a total restore on all of them for him and shipping them out to him in the next few weeks.. the 81 is for another customer that is finishing up a gameroom...
I have some popcorn machines coming up next and a few more gas pumps... so winter will be busy for me...
lots of work, but it's still fun! so that keeps me going!
