A few months back I bought a really rough Tok. 36B It needs a TON of work, but thought it would be a good project pump. The nice man who sold me the pump had a beautiful Gilbarco air meter with the scroll inside the meter which I thought was great. At the time the meter was not for sale. Well this is what I brought home today. It does need a drain valve which the person I bought it from has- he just has to find it. I thought it was a great item and very unique with the scroll. I really like the Eco's but this one sparked my interest. Enjoy!

Very nice. I have seen the ones with a scroll and actually a friend of mine has one. Mine is plain, scrolled ones are definitely harder to find. Cool story also as the two pieces have history together, well at least you will always remember you got them from the same place. smile John

Your Gilbarco along with about 400 more are shown in color in my Air Meter Identification book. It is shown on page 77 and looking at yours, an incorrect handle was put on it (the one that turns the scroll).
If any of you find one like this one (they are a little hard to find) I even have reproduced the scroll, and I offer a repair service to make them work to within one pound.
To see parts that are available for Gilbarco meters or for information about the Air Meter book see my website: www.petrocollect.com

Yes You are 100% correct Jack. The handle for the scroll is incorrect. The owner told me he put that on! And guess what You Just sold Two More books smile

Wish I had the scroll to offer you but those parts are hard to find.
