Comments:
: I'm in the process of restoring a Wayne 615 visible gas pump (I've never restored a gas pump before). I've taken it apart and I'm ready to take it to the sand blaster. I need a glass globe and logo decal (before I choose the paint colors). I like the "Flying A" logo, is there a better suggestion (I'm willing to buy a reproduction.)? Whatever globe I use, I need to see what color scheme to paint the pump. I need suggestions on where I can get a catalog, etc. to show vintage pumps?
:  
: Some more questions:
:  
: I have the original glass cylinder, but it's yellowed. How do I get this cleaned up and looking new?  
: What is the best way to clean the gallon indicators and the rods that support them? Are the rods brass?
: What color should I paint the inside pipes and pump mechanism?
: What color should I paint the rods that protect the glass cylinder?
: What color should I paint the pipes inside the glass cylinder?
: What color should I paint the pump handle?
: I need a hose, do I want a white cloth one or a black rubber hose?
: Is the "Contains Lead..." warning label original to the pumps of the 1920s, or were they added later? If I need one, is it a decal or a metal plate? It doesn't look like my pump ever had one (if it was a riveted-on plate).
:  
: That's all of the questions I can think of for now (as if that's not enough already) . Thanks in advance for your help.
