Are you still trying to free up that computer? Sounds like you are drinking to many of the cold ones that were suggested by DB. Must be seeing double as short Tokheim 39's only came with 2 ad glasses that were placed below the meter faces on the doors.

Tall Tokheim 39's came with 4 ad glasses above the meter faces.

All kidding set aside; You may have a tall that has been cut down. Pictures will help in establishing what you have.

Where's the DAMN Pictures! LOL
After WW2 & before production of New pumps, some of the older ones were shortened by service companies for the New Shorter Look [A-38's, Wayne 60 & 70's, Tok 39's, etc].
You have enough into just buying it, RESTORE AS IS, it's part of History.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that pump has been shortened. Not by much, appears to be about 12" or less. Restore it anyways, it's still a good looking pump!

Jack SIMM provided the following info in another post:

"According to Tokheim factory literature the tall pumps were:
75 1/2" without a globe."
