To my surprise the keys were still in the lock. That is maybe only the second time in all of the pumps I have done that has happened. The number plates that was exposed to the elements were barely visible or not even there, so I recreated only patches that would be seen through the window and left the dials in their original condition. A simple rotating cover would allow the gas station attendants to take the daily reading without having to open the top cover. The bezel detail blew me away when I first saw the pump. I normally like to keep my pumps restored as close to the originals as possible but I just had to show off the great detail.
