 apparently Jeff talked Rachel into letting him get his new pump. What a great Tokheim 34 looks very straight. Tell us more Elvis ! ------------------ Don "oltoydoc" Sherwood Vintage Gas

Thanks for posting the pic Don. Yeah, the little Elvis said it was OK to get it. She even went with me at 10:00 last night to pick it up. I dunno... ask and ye shall receive?
I came across this pump last week... kicked it around and decided to buy it. Not 100% sure I am keeping it. It is VERY straight and complete. One side has glass still and both faces are perfect. There is a little body work on the other side but nothing bad. I could not pass it up.
I like it! Would like to see some restored ones, anyone have pics? Email them to me or post them here.

I like it!!! Several years ago I had a chance to buy one. The guy wanted $250 and I thought he was crazy. If I only had a time machine.

You're not allowed to buy any more pumps young man until you finish restoring one 100% complete. Just kidding. Nice pump. I would keep it. ~Jason

Thanks guys, it is a cool pump... it's no showcase pump but it is cool.
Hey Jason, I know... I know... I keep putting money aside to restore a pump and then another comes along and I spend all my cash! I look in the garage and think, man... if I restored all these pumps it would cost me $$$!
I am stuck on paint and body, no time (or skill) to do it myself and have not found a good deal on getting them done.

Elvis, nothing wrong with unrestored pumps!! That baby looks great as it is. When you move up here to the PNW, you stop by my place; lots of unrestored pumps in a row, they look great!! Ask Hubba. Killer find & if you're desperate for $$, give me a call buddy!!! Merry Christmas , you got yours early!!!!

Elvis--Great looking pump.Will really look
good when finished or left that way.I'm
going to jump in here with the wife thing.
Drove about a hour and a half from here this
summer to pick up a A-62.Took my wife along.While we were at this guy's place,he
showed us some other pumps.My wife said to me lets go for breakfest.Before we left for home and on her suggestion,we made a deal to come back and get two more.Gotta love them wives.
