Just wondering how the doors/faces opened up. Didn't want to force anything. Thanks.

push the button on the inspection door, it should pop open. Reach inside and there is a lever on both sides turn them to open the doors.

Reach into the pump through the side access door. On each side centered just below the computer you will find realease handles that need to turned to unlatch the doors. Once released the doors will swing open they are hinged.

We were both typing at the same time...here's a photo.

Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply. Will go try it now.

Worked like they should!!! Thanks again. Now I can clean this old girl up and rip her guts out!!

The few I have messed with had set out in the weather like most and were realy stuck good . The levers wouldn't even attempt to wiggle . Putting moderate pulling pressure , and at the same time tap the face of the doors lightly 8 " or so below the window and in the middle of the doors , that seems to help the cams pop and move without bending or breaking things . Spray lube helps but hard spot to get to from the little door , cam can't even be seen from looking in the little door. I will get you some pics in a minuite to help.

Lol Dave I was late one the draw, had to kick start my pic resizer machine! Here is pretty much what Dave had. I put the cam in the open and closed positions so you could see how they work sort of.

Thanks guys. This one is junk yard fresh. But...it was really clean and straight. 1950 was on the computer faces. I removed the top so far. Very clean. Still had the light bulbs in it. I washed it and blew it dry with my leaf blower and I am going to spray it down good with WD-40 and let it sit. Just going to gut it, refresh it, wire it, and put a globe on it. Mobil pump.

It didn't look like that pump was set up for a globe in the pics you sent me? I'm sure its wired underneath for one as most are. Didn't see the mount on the top not that it matters. You gonna cut that nice clean top?

Did you get um all out? They were buried in there...

No didn't get the others out yet. Yeah, it looks like it's plumbed for a globe. It's gotta have a globe!! Cleaning up pretty well. Here's some pics.

Good looking survivor!
