I have a Tokeim model 39 tall pump. I am attempting to rewire the three porcelin light sockets on the top. One is upright and lights a globe, the other two aim down and light the glass door and sight glass area. I have found the replacement porcelin sockets, but are unsure how to rewire. I see that I can pull the new wire through the inch piping. Can it be done so that the 3 light connect to one line running down into this pipe and out the pump as a single three prong to plug into an outlet. What type wire to buy and how to do this or am I forced to run three seperate lines down and then plug three into a wall outlet. Any help is appreciated.

If you think a parts/repair manual (the manual that was in the box when the pump was delivered) will help, I have one available.

There should be a junction box somewhere in line where all three sockets would feed. Run your lines from the sockets to the junction and put all the white wires together and all the blacks together, secured with wire nuts and electrical tape.

I use a standard electrical cords that you can buy in bulk at any hardware store. I make sure I get at least 16 guage wire to handle the electrical load of all three bulbs burning at the same time.
