Finished my national A-62 #571247 Sun Sep 28 2014 07:17 PM Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 5,105 Likes: 20 Evansville, In Jarvis OP Veteran Member OP Jarvis Veteran Member Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 5,105 Likes: 20 Evansville, In So I got this picture from Dave Parr. After getting the picture I was on the hunt for a national a-62 pump. I purchased this pump from Dave Thompson which got it from Tom Buckles. Tom brought to my house before the Evansville show many years ago and I didn't buy it. LOL Here is the pump during restore. Last edited by Jarvis; Sun Sep 28 2014 07:40 PM. Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

I changed doors from ad glass doors to regular doors. The top was a porcelain top and I found another top that had original ethyl add glass which I needed. I used that top after I repaired it. It had a crack down side but is perfect now. I still have the other top. Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

He says it's original but I heard who has the original and believe his isn't real. Look in the station window at the clock! I would rather own that clock.

When using all original stuff it takes some time to find everything you need! LOL I spent 2 years just getting Ethyl ad glass! Took sometime to find a pump plate!
