Hey guys,

Does anyone have a picture of an Eco 26 with the fluted pedestal that has the original light tower? Even an original station picture would be great. I’m trying to figure out what the light on top of the pole would have originally looked like.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Book says 26 in this picture, but the model looked the same with the tower. It says all three of these are 26 but in different years.

That’s the one! The far right 26 with the fluted stand. Would love to see an original picture of one of those with the light tower. If it really did take an air globe that would be neat.
Thanks again Craig.

I’m embarrassed to say I don’t have his air meter book. But looks like I’ll be buying one...we just don’t see early air meters much in the northwest!

In about 2-3 weeks I will begin accepting orders for the gas pump book. Anyone ordering the pump book can also buy a air book for $15.00 instead of $25.00 which we are presently selling the book for.

Incidentally I was playing in a dart match yesterday, didn't win, but did place in the money. In March and in May I won two tournaments, both with prize money of over $500 each, not bad for an old guy who will be 83 in two weeks.
