I was wondering if there is any one here that has a Tokheim 600 pump that has 12 rods around the glass? I would like to get the jar lid dimensions the goes on top of the glass. The one I have is so badly rusted that it will take long time to figure it out.

I don't have the dimensions but is this the piece you're inquiring about? This one has 11 rods because of the conduit coming up.

Yes, that is what is looking for but it has to have 12 rods. The bonnet that goes on it has only two lights. Had one member who I was taking to and all the ones he had 11 rods.

One thing I see that is different from mine is that my bottom rods go through a thick brass ring.

One of the rods would be for the conduit I believe, could be wrong.

What do you mean by your "bottom rods"? Every Tokheim 600 I've had (and I've had at least a dozen) have looked just like that picture...and have had only 11 rods. Is it possible yours is a different series? A picture of what you have would help...

I've never had a 200/400/500 series pump, but have not heard of any having a BRASS Base ring for bottom of rods.
Even through the top plate has 4 notches, all I've seen had 2 lights [birds need access to bonnet to make a nest].

I am sorry as I have made a mistake as I am new to the gas pump world.

I believe I have a Tokheim 605 pump.
The base ring is not brass but looks like galvanized steel.

The pump I have does have 12 rods plus a hole for the electrical conduit. Will upload photos as soon as I can figure out how to do it.

IF you have a 605, it will have Gallon Stops w/ a short outside handle for selecting as per link to Jack's web page;

I also have a tokheim 600 with the gallon selector on the outside and it has 12 rods around the glass. I have just purchased a jar lid and when i was compairing them the one I brought only has 11 rods. My guess is that when we say a Tokhiem 600 people are thinking of the 600 series and not the 600 pump and they made a change on the 620 or other model 600's
