Chicago deals - Fri Nov 22 2019 12:54 AM
I caved in and bought my 2nd pump, another Tokheim 39 Short, for $400. Much better price than the 1st pump I bought back in late June. I was traveling for work SW of Rockford IL, and sitting in the hotel room I have a habit of searching Craigslist. Found a seller in Oak Brook IL (just outside Chicago) selling five pumps, each for $400. The 39 Short I bought has the add glass that my 1st pump doesn't feature. Some previous owner had brush painted heavy equipment gray paint over the whole pump. Looks terrible color wise, but it has no visible rust anywhere, and just a few panel dents. Now I have the option to leave my 1st pump in its vintage state, and refurb my 2nd pump to the Old Dutch brand.

I was initially going for the Tokheim Tall, plus its a four add glass model. But when I found the deal in Chicago, I went for the lower priced one to match my other 39 Short.
