standing around before work this morn looking in the back of a dark building at some pumps, giving the VR's a turn...
i zero'ed in on the old red 60 showcase that hasn't moved in 14?? years. looking at the old pic i see i must have put glass in it after i got it. (don't remember LOL) -- when i get a pump i usually run and chase down any piece missing and want every correct screw or bolt.

anyway... inside the display case area on this red 60 there are 4 screws holding the inner side panels on.
two 1/4" down low and two 10/24? up high and the two 1/4" down low are the BIG headed brass 1/4-28 screws like what is exposed on the picture frame around the face on 60's.
on the other side they are missing. -- my other pump has brass round head straight slot 1/4-28 inside on those side panels.

anyone know what screws came inside these display case pumps?
also what screws held the lower panel on blow the doors.

heres the pump as i was buying it in 2001? it cost me $500.00 and had a fresh coat of red paint on it, painted by the guy that BB gunned it up and maybe a couple of 22 holes when he was young. must be 30 BB dimples in the sunburst lol. inside the pump were little doll figures on display. maybe Voodoo dolls?!!

Mine has 1/4 inch brass screws holding the inside panels on on the bottom.

The lower panels on my pump have just plain old 1/4 brass screws in them.


FREEDOM oil items wanted.

Tom-- I checked my unmolested original and it has the same screws as the ones that go around the face bezel, both on the lower panels and the inside, lower panels.

very good Thanks!

that's a total of 20 big headed brass screws in a 60 showcase. digging through my stash of brass I have 6 extra. just enough.

one (farm fresh) 60 here has a few brass washers the same size as the big headed screws on it. never saw that on any others before.
