Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana Treasure bought at Cheese's Show

Morning everyone.

Here is the Stationliter I got at the Cheese-Man's show.



And here is a shot of the bonnet. As you can see, it needs to be replaced. It could be straightened up - but the aluminum is so flimsly that it won't hold it's own shape.



I'm not sure who actually made this unit. But it sure looks like a dead-ringer match for my American 900 pump. The detail on the base of the Stationliter is identical to the detail on the top of my american 900 series pumps. Take a look and see what I mean. Here is a shot of one of my 900 tops (in prime) next to the base of the Stationliter.



As I said - dead on.

Now all I have to do is blow out the ceiling in the Display Room (out in the Coop) and go to a cathedral ceiling arrangement. That's the only way this baby is going to fit. Right now I only have about 7' 6" ceilings and I need to have at least 10' to get this puppy in there!

Plus that will allow me to get a couple of Visibles somewhere down the road.

What other treasures did you all find last weekend?

Later . . .

Awesome station lighter T-way I don't know how I missed it at the show, I seen the repro Wayne station lighter, it looked great, but an original is better, Hey I'll give you a hand when your ready to blast the roof of the coop,let me know and I'll bring the boys with me It shouldn't take long.

It's for a Neptune 855 I believe. Jacks book page 237 bottom right.

Hey T-way. Mr.Wadhams right . you can't use it on your pump. How much you want for it?
David Dolittle showed up at two different shows, with different light towers on different pumps/ He sold the pump for 850.00 and the tower for 1.200.00. who would ever guess. there hard to find. Chris . it will not fit on an A-38. ha ha ha .
