Here's one of em here on CList.I prefer this more modern computer pump WITHOUT a lighted globe.
I think it takes away from it's natural allure & looks too corney...that's just me though.

Hey Gex...we got sun today!!!!!
We have had so much rain here, you can't pull a vehicle into the grass without sinking & getting stuck.
The ground is so saturated some folks septic tanks can't drain.
They are thinking about changing the capital's name to ATLANTIS..

There could be a small deviation in the serial/model # due to the cabinet being lighted or not lighted.
The one below is non lighted.
I have a single product dual here I can look at if you need some info.

As far as I know that is a CLASSIC TEXACO cabinet,,,
knowing that, to me, to restore it to anything else would stick out like a sore thumb.
Those DUAL,DUAL PRODUCT pumps are where the small Fire Chief & Sky Chief pump plates came from.
The single , dual I have would have taken one normal size sign, whereas the dual, dual would have used two
on the door, and could have used 1 sky and 1 fire sign on one door.

This one has porcelain doors and the holes for the signs are factory made.
It's your pump, do it as you want, but that is the origin of that cabinet.

Even through your pump began as a TEXACO, when it was changed out it could have been re-branded & painted for any company. Very few pumps died w/ the original branding still intact.

I agree with coldpizza. The globe detracts from the lines of the pump. All a matter of taste though.
