A local man wants me to restore his tokheim 850 round pump for him. I went and looked it over and one side, mostley on the top, it had many large holes rusted through. I am capable of fixing the holes easily, but the trim ring for the clockface glass is about half gone on the one side. Are parts for this pump real hard to find? He would like to have the pump fixed up so he can put it in his house. I would like to save the pump and make it nice again for him. I have been doing body work for years, but only pumps for about 2 years, so be gentle to me. I am green with pumps that are more rare, like this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ryan

Gaspumpheaven.com, Ron Scobie and Vics has those bezels, faces and lots of other parts for this pump. Original parts are a little tough to come by but if repo works for him, there are many sources.
Go for it and be sure to post a picture- before and after.

One more thing Ryan , measure the highth of the pump with out a globe and the inside of the mans room were hes going to put it , When i finished my 850 and put a globe on it you can't stand it up in a 8 ' high room , so when i built my gas station building i made the inside 10' high ,

We measured the height, and it will fit with about an inch to spare. I will try to git a picture posted on it. Thanks for all the replies, I will get ahold of Ron when the pump is at my house and apart. Repo parts will be fine. Thanks guys. Ryan

if all you have is an inch to spare and your thinking of a 15" globe , then i'd only put one lense in front so you can change the bulb . or go to a 13" globe . good luck an have fun.
