Here is a picture of my most recent restoration, a 1935 Tokheim 34. As the before pictures show I basically started with a bare frame. To say this was the project from hell is an understatement. I have countless hours into searching, grinding, sanding, and fitting pieces. Finding parts was nearly impossible. Special thanks to Ron Scobie for all his help, knowledge, and advice on these 34's. Anybody else have any recent restoration photo's of their pumps to post?   ------------------ [This message has been edited by Coops 427 (edited 10-04-2008).] [This message has been edited by Coops 427 (edited 10-05-2008).]

That's a beauty! Did you keep the internals and restore them too?
Antique? It's new to me.

No I didn't keep them. This pump was so heavy that the internals were first thing to go when I bought it. Looking back I wish I would have kept and restored them. Thanks for all the positive feedback so far!

Coops, your 34 looks great. I like the Wilsure Polly decal better than just the bird alone. You are right about looking for 34 parts, they are hard to come by. Mine is complete now but some of the parts are rough.

Once again thanks for all the positive feedback. I thought I was nuts when I decided to restore this pump. I could have parted it out and doubled my money but I felt kind of sorry for the poor thing and I'm glad I did. Here is a better picture of the decal. I got it from Jim at T-Ways Graphics. I helped design it and they made it, thanks.   ------------------ [This message has been edited by Coops 427 (edited 10-06-2008).]
