Anybody restore gas pumps?

[Bud]

I have a Tokheim gas pump from the late '20's early '30's that I would like to get restored. Does anybody restore or know someone that restores these? I would even consider selling for the right price. It's one of the "visible" ones like they had on American Pickers. It's over 6 feet tall and in reasonable shape.

Thanks

Bud

I should have known that there was a website, and a group of folks that restored old pumps as a hobby.

Amazing reading the site.

Bill...that can't be the same pump. If so, that's incredible.

I have a friend that buys old gas pumps. Let me know what you want for it and I will pass it on.

I'm thinking pretty high. I'd really like to know what it would take to restore it. I will try to get pix this weekend.

i'm guessing to do it right (complete 100% restoration) , by someone who is very good..... it will cost from $3000 to $5000

call the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas (Pawn Stars) and ask them for a referral name/number for the guy who does their stuff

here is their contact info

Here's another before/after. These guys must know what they're doing and there is a lot of new metal used.
