Looking for an original globe holder for a 36b and an original metal globe body, if anyone has one.

Must be very hard to find an original globe holder! I did find an original metal globe, though!

What is it that you need a few more of? It looks like you have a lot of the 36b tops, but I am looking for just the globe holder, not the top.

So, you collect Tokheim 36 tops? It looks like you have 24 of them and you are looking for more; or just the globe holders to complete your top collection?

Don't take it personal! Dick has been teasing all of us with those tops for some time now.. Just mention Dicks "TWIN TOWERS" and everyone knows what you're talking about! I even tried to buy--just one-- but it isn't possible!

I was wondering why he was putting them in front of my face as if to tempt me to ask. Anyway, Kevin, I found a 15 inch metal globe body at an auction and I picked it up for $120! Just need to buy the glass retaining rings.

Buy some new ones from a dealer and they won't be pitted and they'll have better spring to them. T-Ways graphics on this site would have them.
