I had a cooked (ex-fire damaged) Tokheim 39 short for two years and finally finished it... go my brother to re-wire it so lights up... Happy with the end result.
cheers

Very nice , I have always like that color scheme of the old Phillips as well. That pump looks wonderful!
I like SINCLAIR and old American made stuff ... No china items.

Thanks for all comments guys... it had gave me some grief during the resto but I'm happy with the end result..
I added some more pics of the inside, I didnt know what paintwork effect I should do but left a lot to the primer finish with bits in black to stand out.
The outside black was painted in the booth but the orange wasn't paint just off the gun (air dry only) ... I seen a few pics of weathered original pumps where the darker pigment colours stand the test of time compared to the lighter colours. I wanted to have that finish where the black is nearly a mirror finish but the orange has more of a "orange peel" effect....
I'm a bit stumpt which US pump I should do next... hmmm too many to choose from... lol :-)

One of my favorites - both the Tokheim short and the Phillips color scheme. Great job Martin!
