Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Want to Buy Petroliana Tokheim Electrical switch

This switch was used in every Tokheim 36B that I've ever opened up. They were located in the switch box that turned the lights on. It could have been used in other models too but I don't know that.
I have used new electronic type switches as replacement but I really like the originality and I like the way these things work.
I would sure like to buy one or two if they are out there? I know there have been some that came out of a pump and looking like brand new! I just don't seem to have that luck! LOL
If anyone has an extra or 2, laying around, please contact me. Thanks--KEVIN

it took me 3 switches like pictured to make 1..

I think this one is salvageable but I have another that is not. I've never had one apart yet but they look fairly simple to work on, its just so hard to find those d**n little screws when you drop them! LOL

The first 36B I restored I had to make a new switch using a modern push button switch with a lever made out of two different sizes a channel shape piece of aluminum stock. The second pump I did, the original switch was in good shape and just needed a good cleaning.

I have restored one of these switches before and I think I can rehabilitate this one too, but I could sure use one more if anyone has one?

KEVIN, MINE LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT AT THE BOTTOM, SO I'M NOT SURE IF ITS THE ONE YOUR LOOKING FOR.
IT DOSE TOGGLE BACK AND FORTH WHEN THE LEVER IS PUSHED.

Lee--Thats like the ones commonly found on the Tok 39. It mounts differently but operates on the same principle. I have plenty of those and I'm just looking for the other one. The one I need mounts on both ends instead of the sides and is longer.
Thanks--KEVIN

AHH I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN I COULDNT REMEMBER WHERE THIS ONE WAS FROM. I NEVER PAID MUCH ATTENTION TO THEM.
