I just picked up my first gas pump, a National 64. It is light green and has the globe top, but no globe currently and all the inners are there (man is it heavy!) Missing door glass and ad glass...
Just a few questions
1. I need parts and cant find this pump info anywhere, are the parts the same as the National A62?
2. What is the difference between the A62 and 64 pumps?
3. My face plates have some wear, but the replacement ones out there are for the A62 and are different (mine has a red box around the Red National logo and the replacements dont)and appear different in size?
4. It appears to be porcelin coated, but there are serveral areas of wear. Is there a good way to repair or is the best option to media blast and paint?
5. Is the casing a Tokheim 39? It has a small accessory Tokheim ID tag below the National one. If so, is this the direction to take to find my door replacement glass and seals?
6. And of course value is always an issue when restoring an item (well for most of us
) Anyone know the value of a restored one of these?
Sorry for all the questions, but excited to get my new project started....always wanted one of these things and finally got me one!
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
