Here is a recent pic of my G&B 96C. This is another rescue from the old family sawmill. This came complete with bullet holes. I think that it looks a little better than when I first picked it up. It was completely disassembled, sandblasted, primed and painted. The frame was done in black, electrical in yellow, inner skins in white, and the gas pipes in red. It was re-assembled with new bolts and wired with an electrical plug, through the original switch. The outer skins were sprayed with a rattle can. This is what inspired Doc to paint his asylum pump in the same manner. A little care and preparation, and a good looking pump restoration can be done at home...

Great looking pump,I have done a few air meters with a rattle can and they have come out great.If you look around at the auto parts stores you can find rattle cans that have a fan pattern and can lay it on just like a paint gun. Bill IP: Logged |

Thanks guys... Now it needs a site glass & spinners, face plates, and a hose. I have a few different nozzles to chose from. The one I use will depend on what I can find for my two 36Bs. As far as the rattle can paint, these were painted with Rustoleum primer, and Rustoleum "Painters Touch" 1927 Deep Blue. The secret is to keep a wet edge on the spray pattern. This eliminates the "Fogging" typicly found with this type of painting. IP: Logged |

Helllo, I just picked up a Gilbarco 98 computing pump I think? It looks just like your 96C Whats the differance? I can't find a tag anyware on my pump that identifies it. I have used illustrated guide to gas pumps book by Jack Sim. The only differance I can find in his book is the chrome trim on the lower part of the panles and that his book shows a 96 with a light on top of it. I'l take any and all help on this one. Thanks Mark ------------------ IP: Logged |

Thanks for the reply. I'll post some pictures of the pump in the next few days. But we were wondering if the bar for the light switch has a key or handle to help turn it on and off? Thanks, Mark [This message has been edited by Fire_Capt (edited 11-26-2005).] IP: Logged |

The light switch is enclosed in a cast iron housing, with a rod that goes out the side skin. You turn on the light by pulling that rod out, off by pushing it in. [This message has been edited by Thunder (edited 11-27-2005).] IP: Logged |

Thanks again guys. Thats actually an old post and an old photo. The original face plates both had damage caused by the gunshot wounds, (you might be able to see how the face was blown out just under the sight glass in the before pic) the faces on there now were given to me by another forum member Mark Lengal. The number wheels on the computer have also been retouched. The Buckeye nozzle, another sawmill find, was polished just last week by a friend of mine. About all that is needed now is a hose, a sight glass a couple of spinners and a cleared out corner in the game room... [This message has been edited by Thunder (edited 11-27-2005).] IP: Logged |
