You forgot to throw in the TV tube tester everybody used to have ha ha I know it’s a bit off the subject but it came to mind. Oh the good old days I sure miss them all though I blew a tire yesterday I had to go to loves in Winnemucca if any of you fellas ever use them. These guys are very slow.. but I was sitting in the office waiting for the repair and I noticed they were selling batteries for 160 apiece big 12 V I thought that was a pretty fair deal for a road service outfit

My uncle used to own a Jenny station back there somewhere around 1968. He let me serve one of his customers I had to crank it one way to clear the numbers then the other way to start the pump. I was pissing my pants at 12 years old. I have seen that spinning circle but I don’t remember if my uncle had that type. I do remember putting $6.75 and a Cadillac. I couldn’t believe how much this car took…. Bob

Death is not really easy to deal with. Sorry about that. It happens to all of us but it sure doesn’t make it any easier. My wife just lost her mother went to the funeral today. She is taking it pretty good but she also got to go to the beach in San Diego and swim in a pool and eat Mexican food so I’m sure that made it a little easier

You’re the first one I ever seen do that looks great

That’s the way Oregon used to be at least as if 2005

Oh, I forgot to mention we do have one full service station here left full repair bays and a gasoline jockey chevron 4th and interstate 80 if you need them
-
And Tom, if you’re listening look what you started come on back ha ha… Bob
-
And TJ I completely forgot about that. You could set the bell off by running it over with a bicycle, but I think you could also step on it and it won’t go off

Yes fellas it seems like we were more happy in the 70s I was talking to a buddy of mine. I grew up with while back who runs a body shop he says you know I have to work harder now than I did in the 70s I said yes, we all do And Larry I watched somebody do that one time it wasn’t my bike or my tire. Somebody at the service station kept pumping air into their tire until it blew out. I don’t know when this kid thought he was going to quit pumping it was kind of funny to watch, but at the same time I felt sorry for him at 10 years old . …. Bob

OK thanks right now I’m looking for a rebuild kit with the sector Shaft, bearing I was originally going to look for a rebuilt box, but I really don’t think I need any more than a kit and the bushing Thanks for all your information…. Bob

Hell speaking of shutters stats I don’t even know if you’re gonna get them anymore last one I bought was 40 years ago in Los Angeles

I have that Mac order is manual, but it is buried somewhere and yes I have seen a lot of westerns with that metal gauge set up looks good
-
From what I remember, it seemed like it had to tachograhs side-by-side on the driver side by side on the driver side they had a certain name for that type of dashboard
-
I have only seen that entire dashboard set up in a owners manual I believe it was an R model manual from around 1970
-
Oh my God those things were everywhere. Yes, I completely forgot about it.
-
Oh, I got to thinking a little further. I completely forgot back on those days you couldn’t even really buy anything at all after five or 6 o’clock everything was closed. Bob
-
But yes, the air tower also had a bell well, the air was pumping ding. Ding ding aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh good old days. Seems nowadays you can get everything you want gas station except air ha ha. back then all you could get was cigarettes and soda.
-
Well, don’t forget they had the line running across the pumps cars would run it over Bell would go off.to Tell the gas jockey somebody pulled up.
-
I’m just sitting here thinking doesn’t it depend on what side of it you’re standing on??????? Bob
