"It's so cool to see the pump sitting there. You should frame that picture, there is something special about that scene".

I agree Tom.

So is this rarer than the Wayne 50? My gut is saying yes!

Thanks for those pictures Jack. That put a whole new perspective on it.

In comparison the ADC makes the Wayne 50's seem common....really!

You sure you're not thinking of an Erie 50 Steve....?

I to would recommend Bill, He does my pumps . Stop by and you can see his work.

That is a outstanding find !! Love to see it finished.

No, the Wayne 50 display pump. Which looks somewhat similar to this.

Well I had my friend TheGriffin come by this morning. He is a little more into this stuff than me so far. He looked at the pump with me and we found some parts that were with it and took some more pics. A little history on the pump. It was stored in a small warehouse we had in Monroeville, Al. We then moved it up here where our home office is. It was moved from one spot to another. About 10 years ago we had a equipment company offer us a new MPD for a trade. My father turned it down. He really didn't know what he had but still wanted to keep it. We put it in it's current storage spot years ago and left it. We put other things in there with it to store but never thought anything about the pump. Last Monday night I was talking to one of our old longtime employees about the pump. The very next night TheGriffin and I were talking about pumps and he mentioned this kind of pump and I told him I had one. I [/size]really didn't know what I had and I don't know if he believed me. He texted me yesterday about coming by to look at it. That is when I looked into what I actually had. So here we are now. Here are some pics.

Okay and here is the last one. TheGriffin asking if he could have his picture with my pump. I think I might move it again.

This was great that you took the time to take those pictures and give us an inside perspective on the pump and a little of its history!
It could actually be used as is, but the fact that it needs some metal panels, kind of takes that possibility away. It would be hard to make it look just right with some new panels and trying to match up the old faded paint?
If you do get it restored, we would love to see the progress as it goes along! Thanks for sharing!--KEVIN

I am hoping I can find the old panels in some of the old locations that it has been in. If not it has still been fun finding it and finding out about it.

Try to find the computer as well...if the faceplates are there, you'd think the computer would be around but who knows. Good looking Tokheim 620 visible sitting next to it...let's see your other goodies!!

" Sweet Home Alabama " Where the sky's are so blue, Lord I wish this gas pump was mine to do. Great story .

Cool... great story! Hope you find the missing panels/parts. Good luck with it all...

It's neat to see stuff like this surface and the pictures . Thanks for posting .
