Anyone out there have a Bennett 542? I picked up one yesterday, but it is only half of a twin pump. They were joined at the base and the reset crank is on the hose side.

Eons ago [maybe 12-15 yrs] Gaspump Ronnie had 1/2 of a twin. No idea what happened to it.

That would be cool if you could find the other one. You could have it on a reality show when they first got back together.

500 series Bennetts are one of my favorites also. The door with the Richfield was not on the pump when a friend bought it. I found the door for him and picked at the paint before he picked it up. A year and a half later he sold the pump to me. Here is another decal that was on top of that one.

The picture of the 542 in my Gas Pump ID book (page 63) shows the pumps with two seperate bases but I always assumed this was an artist conception and that they probably made a one piece base for the the pump. I even mentioned the same thing for the T-646 Twin, because the factory picture hardly shows the two pumps touching eachother. Has anyone ever found a T-646 and does it have two seperate bases like the 542?
