    I have both outer cabinets from my wife's grandpa and have been trying to find the graco badges and trim for the doors. The full bench included a middle section as well but it's really rare to find the whole setup. If you're interested in making some money and helping me complete mine let me know.

    My buddy is an engineer for Graco in the pumps division. He's a car guy and has a couple of vintage Graco pieces.
    He has tried to source things like logos, badges, etc for his items through the company with no luck.
    The corporate office has display with a COMPLETE service merchandiser, work station, lubester and other Graco pieces they got in perfect shape from an old shop back east that had been closed up for years!

    Does he have a service merchandiser? I'm trying to find someone who will let me make a mold of the cabinet door trim using silicone. Won't hurt it at all, but will allow me to make fiberglass pieces for mine and others down the road. I've also been trying to suck up to Graco HQ :)

    Just wrapped up the restoration on the Graco work bench and grease dispenser. Check out the before and after. I am still searching for the Graco oil drain with the matching Trim Thank you Josh PXL_20230319_205835127.jpg PXL_20230319_205722992.jpg Screenshot_20210716-185319_2.jpg 311817194_5943517068993217_5524997528673416626_n.jpg
