Rex,
Fit all that junk in the Lincoln with room to spare. I really could have loaded up the truck if I had taken it......but like you say, no room in the garage. LOL. Keep JJ away from here. I don't want my globes to get broken!

GasPumpRob stopped by on his way home from hauling this score in Paso Robles. Despite my level of envy I managed to take some photos for him and even promised to post them for him. What are friends for? Drove right by my house to steal this stuff up in Paso Robles and I got practically nothing this week. Phew, glad I got that off my chest. Here's Rob's "Trade of the Century". I'll let him tell you the details.











This is a close up of the Script top he score. They riveted a plate over the brand on the outside. I was really hoping he would forget this at my house, but no luck!

Thanks for taking and posting those photos Curt. Sorry I raided your backyard to score that stuff. I guess that means if I ever decide to sell I sould let you know first??

Anyway the story goes, I met a guy years ago who started picking for me in the central Ca. area. Must have bought over 75 pumps over a 8 year period. Then I meet his friend, a son of an old rancher who picked all this stuff up over time. One day while picking up another 45 pumps out of his back yard Yes I said "45" It just about killed me. Three of four truck loads and piles of guts everywhere,I finally got all of them home. Anyway when I was leaving with my last load of pumps he asked if I new of any jukeboxes for sale. I happened to have a very nice Seeburg 1956 selectomatic just sitting at our house .Well I rebuilt it with the help of a good friend and traded it for all the stuff you see in the photos today. He was so thrilled with the sound of that box, while we had it playing he kept handing me more signs and stuff.

Happy hunting ,
Rob

Got this Wayne 60 over the weekend from a friend of my mother's. The pump has no dents and was recently sandblasted. The computer turns freely and the bell dings. Can't wait to get started on it. This is my second pump to restore.

Don't bother moving out west, there's nothing left after Rob's haul. Besides, Dick Bennett picked the countryside clean years ago so were just picking up the crumbs.

Speaking of crumbs, heres my BOTW, which is really a "freebie" of the week. Nice guy that used to work for ARCO brought this by and gave it to me.

This is a standards book for converting stations over to Richfield circa 1951. Nice illustrations of pumps, decals and stations.









If anyone is working on a Richfield pump or fantasy station circa 1951 I'd be happy to share some color copies or color scans of this with you.
