Folks the heart of this Hobby (debate and the love of the American Gas Station) is still alive and beating! And from the passion I've read, this heart is very strong...
This debate has been going on since the Hobby started... My Dad, told me about such debates going on in the late 1940s and early 50s... I myself witnessed these debates in the later 1950s up to now...
It has always been up to the individual... As, too whether or not they removed the guts... I've owned and sold more than a few pumps with the guts intact... I've owned and sold many more pumps with the guts removed...
Hopefully, this debate will go on for many, many years in the future... And I also hope, that when the debate is raised. It will generate this same passion that we see now!....
