Being new to gas pumps im curious on what is the preferance on owning, all things being equal with two ad glass front and back not all four sides. Between the Neptune 855, Wayne 70, Tokheim 39 tall, and the Bennett 646. Are parts hardér to find on some verses the others , are certain pumps more desireable vs the others etc... posting this to share thoughts and information.

Parts are pretty easy to come by for all the pumps except the Neptune 855. If you are looking at one make sure it has the access door. The easiest to restore is the Tokheim 39. Richard

Out of all the pumps you have listed, I would prefer to own the Neptune 855.
FREEDOM oil items wanted.

This is truly personal preference. Out of your list I prefer the Bennett 646 body style and the Neptune 855 deco base, and ribbed sides. As far as parts are concerned the 855 nozzle cast bezel holder assembly is a tough part to locate and often found damaged.
Happy collecting, Rob
