Going to by a Tokheim. No paint, rust. Haven't seen the doors yet, stored in a shed. It has a 5 bulb manifold and glass Royal signs on the sides. The top glass bulb is gone. Cant read the label for a model. Would the doors have glass in them also? Any idea what this might be? Think its a 39 or 300 but have not seen any pics with ad glass in the doors. I am new to this and any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

pigpen welcome to old gas!the pumps you are referring to could go both ways,ad glass was available on both of the pumps you mentioned the 39 & 300,you mentioned: "The top glass bulb is gone. "im assuming you are talking about the globe,they usually are gone & capped off by a plate that attaches to the top of the pump! i added a pic of a couple of 39 doors i had one with & the other without! be sure to share some photos when you get your hands on it!there are plenty of pump gurus that can help you with anything there is to know about the whole process!
and by the way,this hobby is very addicting!lol good luck & glad your here!

Yeah, I meant the globe. Farmer said it broke during a storm, don't know if he has the frame or not still. Are the front lights just to light up the control panel or would there be ad glass there also. Thanks, and if you got to Facebook, I posted pics of it there. Todd Glantz

Pigpen, first welcome to old gas! If the pump has a 5 bulb manifold and Royal glass on the sides I doubt it is a short 39 or 300 Tokheim. A tall 39 Tokheim would have glass on the sides and a 5 bulb manifold. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Good Luck Don

welcome pigpen. Heres what a Tok 300 looks like

Vermonter, your pump is exactly what I want mine to look like when done. I'm a volunteer firefighter so it fits my collectibles. Very nice pump. Todd
