Help me find a restored gas pump! Need a hi-res photo......

[yellaheep]

I need to get a good, hi-res photo taken of the face of a restored nostalgic gas pump.  

 

Was shopping at Costco many months back and they had a limited offering of these cool personal drink vending machines:

 

 

The silly thing is just a tad larger than an old 50's gas pump and it stirred my creative brain...... so I customized it into this:

 

 

The face of it is customizable. The manufacturer has a deal with Fat Head where you can submit a hi-res photo into an on-line photo editor and they'll make you a face with whatever image you want on it....... Well, I want mine to be the face of an old gas pump.

 

I'd love to find this one - it's a Wayne 505:

 

 

The face with the stainless frame around it should photo perfectly to fit in the face of the vending machine.

 

Anyone know of a place that has old gas pumps on display?  Got good camera skills?

 

I need to be able to get a photo with good lighting but without a reflection of the picture taker or anything behind the picture taker...... Nothing on line is of a large enough size for me to copy, then crop down to just the face and stainless surround....

This is my favorite pump (and best looking), the Wayne Sunoco Blend-O-Matic dispenser. One of my first civilian jobs (early 70's) was with Sun Oil in VA running around the state repairing and calibrating these pumps. They had a blend valve that was positioned by a mechanical computer that allowed precise blending of 190 (low octane) and 260 (high octane) into grades 190-200-230-240-260 all from the same pump. They were maintenance intensive.  :yes:
