Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Which clockface would you get?

HI all,

I am just starting my collection of gas pumps which when completed will only include 3 pumps total. I am going to purchase a Bennett 76, a visable, and am trying to decide which clockface to get. I want the clockface to be the gem of my small collection. I also want one that displays the price of the gas. Which one would you get? I am not looking for the most rare, since it is already almost impossible to find any in Texas.

When I started collecting I was only going to have two pumps. Matching Tok 39's.
They seem to multiply.
Good luck on finding the right clockface AND stopping at three pumps.

If it where me I would go with a Tokheim 850 or 950. They look great & are not as hard to find

I think it would be easier just having 3 kids [I have none], than to stop at just 3 pumps [I have more than 3 ] !

Buy what You like, not what WE like.

Hey Dick I have 3 kids & about 20 pumps Done with the kids though

Live here and you can easily stop at one pump. Even a Tokheim 300 is a scare commodity in these parts. No temptation, no problem!

I think the Bowser 310 is a nice looking pump,and there out there.Like everyone else said good luck stopping at 3 pumps.I wanted one pump and one soda machine.I have eight soda machines and twenty five pumps and counting.

That is a tall or should I say expensive order.
You mentioned that you wanted a clockface that displays the price of gas ? These are known as cash recorder pumps and are hard to find and cost a lot.

I also started out only wanting two pumps a visible and a computer pump. I bought both of those the first day ... Honestly I really don't know how many pumps I have now , I stopped counting after 200. I came back from Iowa Gas with Five A-38s two 36bs and a National Apex What was I thinking!!!! LOL

Hey Rob your truck & trailer was loaded down good. But I think you had room for a couple more LOL

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think the pump I would like to get is the Bennett 150. Any suggestions on where I can pick one up in the Texas area...Or someone who will ship.

THANKS AGAIN... This forum is great.

I like the 850, hope to have one someday. The company I work for has one, its the best 850 I've ever seen as far as condition. They won't sell it to me though, I can't understand it, I offered them 500$ for it.

Here is one for sale: http://www.oldgas.com/shoptalk/ubb/Forum3/HTML/006377.html
