Have any of you bought/sold a Tokheim 36B lately? I haven't decided for sure, but I may sell one of my restored 36bs. I have not seen any sell on here, craigslist or ebay etc. lately so would like to see pics of yours that you've bought or sold to compare with mine. Please email me your pics,experience and advice and I'll email you pics of mine. I realize a lot of variables come into play here such as condition, locale, type of restoration etc.
Thank you for your help.

If this is the pic of the pump in the value question, I should think the range of $3,500-$4,000 would be possible if the restoration was nicely done like I think it has been. Possibly more.

I would have to agree. Restored pumps are just plain difficult to sell.


FREEDOM oil items wanted.

No, John. The globe is a reproduction.

$1500-$2000.00. Paint went on dry (one light coat, versus two heavy/thick coats), not sprayed heavy enough therefore it is void of depth and shine. Common when single stage paint is sprayed by someone who doesn't paint often and is afraid of saggers/runs.

Rod's paint job is more inline w/ what was originally done.
Not everyone enjoys a Hot Rod paint job on their pumps, ME included.
