I am new to the hobby and also new to Oldgas. I picked a Wayne Model 1 as a place to start, mainly because I found one that seems to be complete and needs mostly cosmetic work and basic refurb. I was surprised when I went looking for info about this pump. As best as I can tell, it was manufactured in the 60's which makes it newer than what it appears most of you focus on. That said, it also appears to be too old for what I can find on Wayne's site and other contemp parts suppliers. Does this mean I am in NOMAN's land - too new for vintage restorers and too old for serviceable eqpt? At any rate, as I started disassembly, I realized how little I know about gas pump restoration. So....for starters it would be helpful if someone could provide basic advice:
Does anybody know of a source of info (parts manuals, operators manuals, etc.) for a Wayne Model 1?
The pic below (I hope it makes the trip!) is with the top, windows, bezels and lower panels removed. I did not take a picture before I took these off. Fortunately, I think the pump is basically complete.

Thanks! Do you know if there is an easy way to tell which version of the repair parts list is applicable to my pump? I am not sure of the date of manufacture, but attached is a copy of the manufacturer's ID plate and it has a "65" in the S/N section. Suppose this means it was made in 1965 so the 1957 parts manual would apply?

Pump was 1st made in '57 & as w/ most pumps made for many years w/ little on no change. WAYNE made a 600 [628] Series Visible up till 1947.
Use the WANT TO BUY Forum when looking/needing original parts.

Yes, that is the style pump I have. However, mine does not have the globe on top. I am wondering if this model ever had one as original equipment or if this is something that has been added. In the spot under the globe on mine is the recoil spring for the hose take up line.

By 196?, Most companies quit using globes. Globe was added by collector.

...do yourself a favor, and leave the globe off...if you want your pump to look like it did when it was in service at a Gulf station, paint the sides white and the base blue...find two relatively common (and inexpensive) pump signs on eBay and you're done...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Good choice. It will be a sharp looking pump. I couldn't get myself to drill holes in a stainless steel top.

I think Mark meant the door white and base blue, leave the stainless alone and just polish it.
Thanks, Phil _________________________________________________ Looking for any old pumps, or nice 5 gallon cans.

Thanks all. My plans are along the same lines as your recommendations. Only difference is the pics I have seen of this pump in the Gulf Livery have the bottom panels orange with a blue band at the bottom. Otherwise, I plan to clean it up and do some paint and polish and get it back to close to original. I will plan to post a pic or two when I get there.
