Hey, Would someone please post a pic of what a Tokheim 39 light assembly should look like. Preferably with the top not installed. I have a 39 short with the ad glass underneath the computer window. Is that suppose to be lit? Are the bulbs on the 3 light manifold facing up? Almost done assembling the frame! Thanks

Here is what one looks like. It mounts just like it sits the picture.

The ad glass has a sheet metal reflector that should be painted white that bolts in behind the A.G. to the door. It catches light coming down from the pump's face area and directs it out the ad glass. It works OK, but it's not very bright.

Mike618b,
Thanks for the info on the ad glass light and how the light should be reflecting. I was wondering what that sheet metal was for that is attached to the door. Maybe painting it chrome would help with the light.

Believe it or not flat white is way more reflective than chrome or silver spray paint. It also gives a cleaner light.
