Wayne 89A questions for a restoration - Thu Mar 12 2015 04:37 PM
Hello,
I'm a long time lurker and first time poster. I bought my first visible pump and thought I'd give everybody a look and ask a few questions of all the experts here. I've restored lot's of stuff over the year but never a gas pump. So I have skills just not experience on the pumps.
So a few pictures:
The only thing I've done so far is clean the crud off the inside of the glass.
I have a couple of questions already though:
Does any one recognize any kind of color scheme that might lead to figuring out what brand it was during it's life?
Does anyone know where I can get repop numbers/markers? They're the sheet aluminum anodized/etched style. I've found cast ones but not ones like these. I'll have to get a better picture of the style.
Is there a specific nozzle that I should look for to go with this pump that would be era correct or brand correct?
The locks on both the access door are destroyed. Is there somewhere folks here have found replacements for the locks?
Thank you to anyone that responds and I'll keep posting pictures as I make progress.
Lance
