Finally got the 76 all put together and I'm pretty happy with it. Since this pump was so complete and original when I found it I decided to keep as many original parts on it as I could. The original ad glass wasn't perfect but in very good shape for it's age so it had to stay. I decided to have the face plate bezels rechromed instead of opting for stainless repops and they came back looking awesome. You just can't beat real chrome. About the only thing I haven't got for it is the right nozzle but had a nice Morrison Bros. brass one that looks fine for now. The lead signs on the sides are original to the pump and it had the RD-119 decal in the exact position it is when I found the pump. I did add the round HC decal to the door, there wasn't one there originally for some reason. I also had to have the ss edge trim in place of the original painted corners. I always liked the pricer boxes on these older pumps though I never figured out why they still used them on some of the computing models. Guess they advertised the price of the gas better and folks were used to seeing them on the clockface models. I think this may be my new favorite pump....GB

Very Very nice. Great detail, color combo, and use of Nickel. One that would be viewed as a model for others.
