Finally finished my 1939 National A-38 Deep Rock pump. Pump still has the original curved ad glass and 60+ year old paint. Pump was in good original condition to start but I wanted to take it a step farther (had to bring it in the house). Spent about 100 hours on this crazy thing. I completely disassembled and cleaning everything. I painted the frame, computer, and base. Wet sanded, cleaned and waxed the old cracked and crazed blue paint. Installed new faces, hose, and decals (T-Way Graphics). Looking for a solid top or original globe (yea right!) if anyone has one for sale.

Wow, looks better than if it had a new paint job. You should go for the globe on ebay. That will be the finishing touch.
