Looking for the top and sides for 34 Tokheim 6 wheel computer- could use damaged ones for templates-- Tom

Hi Tom, If you can not find one I can try and make a paper templet. The sheet metal for these early computers are a one piece. Does your coputer have a bell on the side? The early ones have a bell on top of the sheet metal. I found out the sheet metal has a little diffeance in hieght between the two. Also Tok 34s have a plate on top of the computer under the sheet metal. Here is the one with the bell on top.

Matt-- A template would be great-- My computer has no bell-so I guess I can go either way ? If you are missing the bottom cover I may have one-- Tom

There is a difference in the 1934 and 1935 sheet metal.
The 35 is taller than the 34
34 metal has two totalizer slots....35 has the ID tag
a 34 computer has no holes in the flat face on the front of the variator, a 35 has two.

Matts computer is a 1934-Tokheim #34, it is the only model I know of that has the two small threaded holes on the rounded sides of the variator to hold the face trays

There is a shaft protruding from the left side of the computer just below the reset shaft in the pic above.
If your computer has this extended shaft, a small bell unit can be added.
There are several parts you need to have the top bell setup.
Actually I have only seen that setup on #34 Tokheim pumps.
A lot of 12" computers used a small bell system that can be used on the 8" as long as it has that shaft.

1934 and 1935 computers were used in Tokheim #34 pumps. make sure you know what computer you have before getting the sheet metal template.
There is another plate under the sheet metal top that holds the tops of the face trays, you can see it in the pic above.
