I am starting to restore a 36B (first timer) and I my unit does not have any of the electrical conduit. I need to know what it is suppose to look like when finished inside the cabinet so I can replicate the computer, ad glass, and globe lighting provisions.

Mine in particular will need a 3 areas lit.

Thanks in advance for any pics.

Thank you much Mr. Coops!

That answers how the lights are oriented for the sightglass area and thus the ad glass area.

The only mystery is for those units with a globe how the electric was continued on from the ad glass area to the globe.

Steve nice meeting you as well. I most likely will draw on your experience and take you up on that call.

I'm finding each pump restoration is a journey in learning how they go together and such. After you finish a given pump type you are basically almost an expert on that pump because you know every last detail about it.

Dan, I'm not going to take my pump apart to show you but on the picture that TILLER provided via his link, some manifolds had an extended pipe that the globe light was attached to. Others even had another "T" shaped junction with 2 lights in the ad glass area and a single one extending up into the globe area! Hope this helps!

Thanks KW.

With the help of this forum and those with tribal knowledge I have been able to figure this mystery out.
