I'm interested in buying the dual light switch for the subject pump. Please let me know if you have one to sell.

Thanks!

I have a couple of Tokheim switches that you push to turn on and push again to turn off. They both came from Tokheim 39's. Is that what you're looking for , or is there a special switch for the stationlighter assembly?

The switches I have are just like those but are singles and could probably be coupled together with a close nipple but it wouldn't be exact? Might be as close as you'll ever get tho. I bet those things don't run in bunches!

WOW I wish you luck - you might end up using those 2 singles – that double might prove very hard to find.

I bought a pump just like yours from a local antique store without looking it over well and then found out he “the dumb store owner – a self proclaimed gas pump / sign expert” cuts out the light switches with a saw-zaw when he guts them for the extra 50 cents in scrap metal - I have told him many, many, many times to leave the darn light switches in them - but he always gives me the most stupid looks, then toss’s his dumb “1980’s rat tail” over his shoulder and says people just put a flip switch in the hole – grrrrrrrrrrrr I could just beat him with a bat. So I never buy from him anymore – nor will I ever restore the pumps people buy from him anymore for just that reason…

I am SO VERY happy to see you are trying to do it RIGHT!

Good luck!

KW - how much do you want for each switch? Are they still functional - not rusted solid??

Agree - finding a dual may be difficult. I do not have the stationliter bits (column/light assy) - previous owner mounted a conventional globe, so I may just use one single switch and call it a day. I thought it would be cool to turn the pump lights on as they did in the day vs. cobbling up a conventional internal or external switch.

Thanks!

$25 for each switch and I guarantee them to be in nice shape and fully functional. The actuator knob works very smoothly and both move thru the functions very easily. Hard to find good ones like this!
