Hi all, New here thought I'd share my latest project, Tokheim 39 Tall. Bought it from a farmer in Akron, MI payed $475 for it. How'd I do, did I pay to much for the pump in this condition? This will be a nice addition to the pole barn. Here's a picture.... [img:center]  [/img]

If you like what you bought, you didn't pay too much. Looks as though it's in good solid condition for restoring. If that Blue Sunoco pump plate is original, it's worth probably close to half what you paid. Good deal in my opinion...Dale

Looks like you did good to me. I'm working on the same pump right now! Simple pump, easy to get parts for and personally I think they look pretty cool to! WELCOME

Welcome to Old Gas Jay! Heck of a good deal on a very nice pump! You can even display it "as is" , just put some ad glass and a globe on it. I've seen several original Sunoco globes on ebay lately and they were very reasonable! Nice score!---KEVIN
