So sorry to hear of Ted's passing. I didn't know him personally but a few years ago I bought a mint Blue Sunoco globe from him for my MS70/pole light project. I was a little apprehensive to have such a nice globe shipped from Canada but he assured me it would get to me in one piece. When it arrived I could see why he was so confident. I think it would have survived anything short of a bulldozer running over it! I still have the globe on the shelf although the pump project is still "next on the list"....Rest in Peace Ted and condolences to the family.
