Hey guys, this afternoon I finished restoring a Bowser 585, which is my first attempt at a pump. It has been a blast, and I was able to do the entire thing myself, including dis-assembly, paint/rust stripping, bodywork, paint and assembly. Both my grandfathers worked at Phillips in Bartlesville, OK for 40+ years. One of them was primarily in purchasing for gas stations, including pumps like this one. It was originally a Phillips pump, and with my family's history with the company, it was a no brainer to go back that way.
Many thanks to all who post here and answer questions. It has been a wealth of information!
