I machined this piece for a short Tokheim 39, oval light housing. It is the actuator block for the internal switch and the connecting rod. If anyone is in need of one please PM me. I made 3 of them, but would make more if there is a need. We had about 45 minutes in them for reference.

I'm at a loss as to what this is?....My tokheim 39's have a small hole about 6 inches above the reset crank handle, and I use a pen to turn on/off the factory switch on the inside.

Gotcha. I knew where he was going with the post because I just went through the same thing a few weeks ago. I had to make some parts and rebuild some. I made a plate and used a toggle switch.

Thank you for posting the pics Jarvis. I didn't have time to take any before posting this. That is why I included oval style in the ad. This is just something I had a need for and thought maybe somebody else might need one. My 39 was missing both pieces and that was my easiest option. I have one we are restoring for a friend and was able to have the part for a pattern fortunately. Figured I would make a few while we had the machines set up.

I would have bought yours as I had hours in redoing mine. You can tell by the original switch it was real bad shape. It works just like the original and clicks and sounds just like the original!
Do you have a price?

I'm with Mark, I simply replace each switch with new toggles. Clean, quick and inexpensive answer to the old crusty originals. Never had one customer complain that the switch was not correct. Paul www.severngaspumps.com
