Texaco Gas Pump With Glass Shelves
PUMPS SPECS. AND DETAILS REAL PARTS ? - THE MAJOR PARTS OF OUR PUMP WERE CAST USING ORIGINAL PARTS AS PATTERNS. A PERMANENT PATTERN WAS THEN CONSTRUCTED TO PRODUCE MULTIPLE PARTS. THE BASE, TOP, FACE FRAME, GLOBE RING AND HOSE/NOZZLE FIXTURES ARE ALL CAST IN LOCAL ALUMINUM FOUNDRIES. THE BODY PANELS ARE MADE OF PRECOLORED .040 SHEET ALUMINUM. WE SHEAR, BEND & CUT ALL THE HOLES IN THOSE AS NEEDED. CASTING FINISHES - THE TOP, BASE & VISIBLE CYLINDER END CAPS ARE PRIMED & PAINTED. THE FACE FRAME & GLOBE RING ARE POLISHED TO A BRIGHT FINISH AND THE HOSE/NOZZLE FIXTURES AND VISIBLE PUMP HANDLE ARE USUALLY LEFT AS IS OR CLEAR COATED. LIGHTING - THE VISIBLE PUMP HAS A LIGHTED GLOBE ONLY WHILE THE OTHERS HAVE THE FACE LIGHTED AS WELL. ONE OR TWO 40 WATT MAXIMUM BULBS ARE USED. AN INLINE SWITCH IS INSTALLED INTO THE 110 VOLT POWER CORD. WHILE THESE PUMPS ARE USED MOSTLY INDOORS, IF USED OUTSIDE, PROPER GROUNDING SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. THE FACES, BOTH THE DIAL AND CALCULATOR TYPE ARE PRINTED ON HIGH QUALITY VINYL SUCH AS USED FOR TRUCK LETTERING. WE THEN CUT, DRILL AND BEND AN ALUMINUM TRAY ON WHICH WE APPLY THE PRINTED DECAL. WE PUT REAL CLOCK HANDS AND SCREWS IN PLACE ALONG WITH A SIMULATED SIGHT GLASS WHICH IS PUSHED THRU A RUBBER GROMMET. THIS ASSEMBLY MOUNTS ON THE POLISHED FACE FRAME OF WHICH WE INSTALL A 1/8'' ACRYLIC LENS INTO. WHEN THE WHOLE THING IS INSTALLED IN THE PUMP IT LOOKS VERY AUTHENTIC. KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE PUMPS ARE TYPICALLY SET ALONG A WALL AND HAVE ONLY ONE FACE. FOR AN OPTIONAL PRICE A SECOND FACE & SIGN CAN BE INSTALLED ON BOTH SIDES SHOULD SOMEONE BE BUILDING A REPLICA PUMP ISLAND ON WHICH THE PUMP WILL BE SEEN ALL AROUND. THE GLOBES ARE ALWAYS TWO SIDED. SIGN & GLOBE - WE MAKE A FEW OF THE SIGNS AND BUY OTHERS ALONG WITH THE GLOBES FROM SOME OF THE MANY SUPPLIERS OF THOSE GOODS. THE FINISHED PUMPS WE SELL INCLUDE ALL OF THOSE ITEMS. SIZE - A TYPICAL FACE TYPE PUMP WITH 60'' TALL SIDE PANELS IS 84'' FROM THE FLOOR TO THE TOP OF THE GLOBE. THE SIDE PANELS CAN BE CUT SHORTER IF CEILING HEIGHT IS A PROBLEM. THE VISIBLE PUMP USES THE SAME SIDE PANELS AND STANDS 112'' TO THE TOP OF THE GLOBE. NO PROBLEM TO SHORTEN THIS ONE EITHER. WEIGHT ON A FACE PUMP IS APPROX 50 LBS. WHILE THE VISIBLE WEIGHS APPROX. 65 LBS. THE MAXIMUM WIDTH AT THE BASE IS 18'' AND THE BODY IS ABOUT 14'' EXCLUDING ANY SIGNS OR THE HOSE MOUNTED ON THE SIDES. DEPTH IS THE SAME DOUBLE PUMP, BEER TAP PUMP & SPECIALTY PUMPS - WHILE THESE ITEMS CARRY SOME OF THE SAME SPECIFICATIONS, MANY OTHER FACTORS ARE INVOLVED AS TO THOSE THINGS MENTIONED ABOVE SUCH AS SHIPPING AND WEIGHT TO MENTION A FEW.
