Got a pump that has a Bennett crank on the reset, looks nice but would like an original. Also I someone know what the correct nozzle is that would be great.
Thanks

Pennsylvania literature states that you had a choice of either a flex or solid nozzle, but they didn't identify who they were getting them from.

Will try and blow up the pic I used in my book and see if it resembles any of the 100+ nozzles I have.

I will take a picture so that you can see what is on there now for a reset and nozzle.
Thanks

Now,,,,
WHY in the world would a pump have a reset at the face and a reset crank on the side????????????????
Something is not kosher here.
I know of NO pump that takes a configuration like that.
Nice looking job, but 2 resets does not compute.....????

Should that not be a lever for on/off?

all of the Pennometer clocks I have worked on have been facial reset type.
there is a Pennometer in Jack's book that has a Tokheim clock
setup but stll has a front reset knob like the later Tokheim clocks.

For what it's worth, my Pennometer 41 does not have front face reset knobs. Crank on side only.

Maybe instead of a crank yours should have an on/off lever mounted there? Does that crank actually go into the clock mech? Odd that there is no on/off control for the pump.

Gentlemen, This is the way I got it and would not know right from wrong. If anyone has a picture of an original that would be great. Uncle Dick, Mr Scobie, Jack ? You all are the info people, just need maybe a picture or something. I guess that I will have to take the sheetmetal off, for the crank back does just go around and around.
