I had an Idea for a new project. I want to see if I can build a Tokheim 36B out of wood like I did with my Gilbarco 966. I was wondering if someone in the Grand Rapids area has a 36b that they would let me measure. It would be great if the pump was being restored and in pieces so I could take measurements, photos and tracings of parts for this pump. The pump can be assembled. If you have a 36B and wouldn't mind letting me do these things please let me know.

The late Glenn Thompson would start with a picture of a pump, know the measurment of something next to the pump, then figure out the exact measuraments of the parts of the pump. He replicated some very nice Dayton pumps years ago.
