Hello Forum.
I recently purchased a Complete Measure "organ pipe" gas pump that is original, essentially complete and unrestored. I plan to take on the restoration over the next few months. I am a "car guy", I have an unrestored 1929 Model A (that the pump will look great next to!) and do my own auto body work and paint. I'll look forward to advice and help locating any needed parts as I proceed.
Cheers, Jim

Welcome from another Michigander. Check your pump, as I think it is probably a "Correct Measure", if its a pipe organ pump. Photo would help.

Yes "Correct Measure" is the right name! Can you tell I'm new to this part of the hobby! I'll post some pictures soon.

Ok, I'm trying to post a couple pictures but it seems that I don't have the system down yet. Initial attempt to load files didn't work because they are too big. It looks like I will need to create a web page so I can link to a URL for the pictures. I'll keep working on it!

Open the picture using paint by right clicking on the picture. Under "image" select "stretch/skew" In the boxes put 50 and 50. This will make your picture 50 percent smaller. Under "file" select "save as" and save the picture.
