Visible glass cylinder removal Madgsxr1 3 hours ago
I recently purchased this & was curious as if it's possible to remove the metal cap on the glass cylinder without breaking the glass. It really seams likes is sealed on pretty snug from over the years... right about 100 now!! I always thought there is also seal from the factory attached between the cylinder and cap when it was sold new. I just don't want to break the glass, but I would like to clean it somehow... eventually I'd like to put a nice sweaty sphere globe up top and need to deal with getting the right hardware replaced at the top where all the electrical meets as well, so I'd like to attempt to remove the cap if I can.... If anyone has some helpful advice / experience they can share with me, I'd greatly appreciate ya smile

Re: BOTW "BUY'S OF THE WEEK!" Sept 18th - 24th Madgsxr1 3 hours ago
I recently purchased this not too long ago, I haven't had a chance to post'r up... the glass believe it or not isn't cracked or chipped either... Having the framed nozzle holder kinda sold me too after I had went to view it the day I purchased it. It was almost complete, just missing the cover plate by the handle and the attachment up top for a globe. few rods etc.. but all there. The internals are frozen as expected, but I feel pretty fortunate that it wasn't all rusted through & had holes anywhere, it just has a really really baked on paint coating or two that's almost looks like Rhino-liner smile I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it.. leave it as is or do a rusto-mod to it... I know I can't take the top off without breaking the glass as it's bonded together over the years & sealed together... I sometimes have thought about drilling a 2" access hole in the top & just plug it back up with a color matching cap so I can clean the glass... it's so far up there nobody would see it... besides, it's meant for me to appreciate & not worry about selling it... rusty eye-candy smile If I do that, it's not happening anytime soon, I'll start tinkering with it over the winter & get it inside.

Re: recent buy Big Block Cat 6 hours ago
Dan,

Welcome to the forum, great looking pump you have there. You've come to the right place to find out information on your pump and members here can walk you through removing the glass so you can clean it to make it look more presentable. There is no need to drill any access holes in the top to clean the glass with a little patience and elbow grease the top can be removed and cleaned. As for the look of the pump, imo it looks great the way it is and all I would recommend is to find the missing access cover and try to match the patina of the rest of the pump. We do a post for buys of the week post every Sunday at 5pm pacific time for you to share your new buys and if you would like to start a thread on getting assistance to get the glass cleaned up, I would post it in general discussion. Thanks, good luck with it and congratulations on finding it. Anthony

Sunoco Stuff 1969L88 Yesterday at 08:36 PM
Decided to rearrange my basement. Should've done it ten years ago but, why rush? Moved the Sunoco items to a larger wall. Still have a long way to go in the basement but it's a start.

I worked at an Esso station in Southport, NC as a kid but there was a Sunoco down the street and all the built musclecars favored the 260. Very fond memories✌️

Re: PAYPAL-"MONEY REQUEST"!! Oldgas Yesterday at 06:26 PM
I have well over a thousand Paypal transactions, incoming and outgoing, and never have lost a dime to a scam. <knock-wood> You have to be careful and be very wary of people you don't know, no matter whether you are using Paypal, your hometown bank or a wad of cash.
