Hi, new member here. Found this very informative site while I was searching for information on my Tokheim 34. Just wondering, there is not much information available for this pump and I have not found many examples of restored pumps. Mine is very complete including all of the internal workings including the pump and computer.Has any one done this pump in Polly Gas Ethyl colors? If so I would love to see some pics. Or Pics of other pumps for Ideas. I am ordering the Gas Pump restoration book, hoping to get some help from it. I will try to post some pics of my pump later today. Thanks in advance for any help in my restoration.
Tom (Farmerfred)

You came to the right place... if you need parts Call Ron Scobie... If you wish to have your computer rebuilt, I can do it !!! Dick Bennett has the info decals for the upper and lower computer sheet metal. This is a 1934 computer but it is Not from a #34 Tokheim.  If your computer has price wheels it was made in 1935 or later Thanks and welcome Joe

If you are looking for the parts manual that was in the box with the pump when it was delivered originally, I have them listed on my website along with some other literature.

And the after picture. I got most of my parts from Ron Scobie and my decals from T-Way's Graphics. I think the 34 is one of the neatest pumps out there and they look killer restored. Good luck.

I have always been surprised that no one has ever commented about the special face Tokheim offered for their 34s. Imagine a 34 restored to Shell with this face on it.  Tokheim also offered this face for the 34.  Both are shown in my Gas Pump ID book. Jack Sim

Coops 427, Thanks for the pic. Your pump looks great. Do you have a paint # for the green? I hope to start on mine as soon as I get the spring planting done. Should have the few parts I need by then. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement. I have been researching the Tokheim 34 and You do not see many of them restored. I think they are a great looking pump.

Not as many 34 survived as the Wayne 60, or you'd see more restored.

Farmerfred, thanks for the compliment on my 34. I don't have a paint code on the green. I had about 2" of paint left in a 10 year old quart of yellow and green and mixed them together. To my surprise this was the result and the paint laid down perfect. Keep us all posted with pictures of your restoration.
