Hey guys. Just finished restoring my Gilbarco 96C and it came out great thanks to all the help from you guys. I am now left with all of the innards(electric motor, pump, etc.)and am trying to figure out what to do with them. Probably like most of you, I hate to throw something out, but I don't ever see me restoring the pump to a working model. On the other hand, if and when I sell the pump would the next owner want the complete innards? I know that it is all speculation, but I just hate to see this stuff go to scrap, but also don't really have much room to keep it if it's never going to be used.
Appreciate any thoughts on this. Thanks again for all of the previous help and I hope everyone has a great Easter/Passover weekend.

G&B 96 is a common pump. Junk them they will be in your way, have no purpose and will not be wanted by future owners. Sell the electric motor any copper separately.
Drive with Care and Buy Sinclair!! I buy Sinclair globes, signs, cans, ect.

Dont keep them, no one will want them! Using the pump again would be unsafe anyway, no upside.

Seen people looking for the visible pumps but not these.
They would make great redneck boat anchors. Junk them!

seems like I have seen people making industrial art out of the guts. I have seen lamps made out of the pumps and pipe. some of them are pretty neat all painted up. probably takes some pretty good cleaning though.

Oven cleaner & a hose on a warm day can do wonders.

I scrap out the guts out of at least 20-30 pumps a year. I see no value in keeping them.
