Id say it was probably burned out. Dont know who would make a sign missing just that one segment.
Dont have a photo, but after Katrina in 05, this little station near Vanderbilt (about 15 miles from me, middle of nowhere) did that. Pump couldnt go over $3 so they put a sign saying the price will be double in the store.
Ellsworth co-op still has mechanical counters too, but Ive never seen any price limitations with those.
Many moons ago, many stations had a fixed "1" for when gas was over $1 a gallon. It didnt go up to $2 so they had cardboard signs and stuff.
I think nowadays every station around here is set up for anything the oil companies want to charge.
