The Sell-a-vision that I've seen was a Gilbarco, pictured at this link:

Post a picture of your Tokheim. I'm sure many here would love to see it. Or send image files to: shoptalk@oldgas.com

The Tokheim 396 was a air tower, are you sure of the Model number, and as stated above, how about posting a picture?

I also think that if you look a little closer the number will not be 396, it will be 996. The 996 Sell-A-Vision is shown on page 167 of my Gas Pump Identification book and there are plenty of pictures of the pump on this page of my website:

If you don't have copy of my book it is available at:

I have restored one of these for a client. I had to make the ad tape from a light canvas/polyester material used in boat tops. To post a message, simply use a woodburning tool with a small round point. Burn very small dots, in the pattern of the message,through the cloth so the light will come out. Works fine.

This is my Sell-A-Vision. I have the same problem. I can't find the scroll to go with it. It's not in the picture, but I do have the whole Sell-A-Vision maichine in it now.
