Hi new guy here I bought a 50's Bennett 766 pump to restore. Couple of questions 1) how do I get the front panel off looks like hinges on one side but can't seem to get the other side open.?? 2) need a couple of small items reproduction stuff is fine. Where/who is a good person to deal with. My Dad owned own 2 pump gas station in the late 40s right up to the mid 80s. ( Supertest Canadian) When he passed on about 12 years ago I found a NOS globe in the parts room. I've retired now and will restore the pump back to Supertest and put Dad's globe on it. Thanks Crusty!
Thanks Crusty!

I have a 766 also, nice pump. For repo parts, I always had good luck with Vics66, you should be able to google them. Fair prices and good service. Tom Buckles is a member here on Old Gas, he probably has original parts for it too.

Can you put some pictures on please. I would love to see the globe!!

Bennett 766 are cool pumps.

On the side panel is a small access door. Open that door and if you look inside half way up in the middle of each door (front panel as you refer to it) you will note a steel rod that latches the door in place. Turn/dial the release rod to unlatch the door. Once released the door will swing open. Do the same for both doors.

Bennett 766's are easy pumps to restore as original and reproduction parts are readily available.

I sent you a PM.

Thanks Dave both doors opened no problem Thanks for the info. I'll likely need more before I'm finished..

Crusty!
