Was anyone from oldgas lucky enough to get the wayne 756 off craigslist for the $800 or best offer. I missed it by a phone call. As usual day late and a pump short

Was that the one in Mass. along with some odd Wayne car lift ramps? If so, I was going to call, then realized I don't have $800.00.

That was the one, heck of a bargain

That was a good deal. Does anyone have a pic of one?

#576

dyslectic Joe

I was having a hard time finding many 700 series Wayne clock in the book.

I believe it is a 576 not a 756 as DB states. Shown on page 321 of my Gas Pump ID book.

I'm surprised gasoildude, you don't have a copy of my book?

Take a good look at it, a 576 without the lower skins.

That pump is now in my collection. Nice pump, glass intact, all I.D. tags. positive stops etc. and when I turned the crank, it worked! The guy selling it just bought the property and found this in the barn he is tearing down. One of the I.D. tags read F.D.N.Y. 576. The best part of the story is that my lovely wife saw this ad and made all the arrangements to pick up the pump, along with an aqua 455-E and a wayne 866, so I have her to thank for these pumps. Now she wants an addition on the house to display some more pumps in! She's a keeper!

Of course I do Jack I have both of them But you never know whats out there!

Great that's whty they didn't call back. That sucks I hate missing them especially when I had someone ready to run out and grab it.

Last spring, by mistake, I built an extra clock for a # 576
and still have it in stock if anyone is in need of a replacement unit for the Wayne #576.
That's 576,,,,, yep.....576.... that's what the book says.....# 576.

I'm sincere when I ask this....that CL ad aside,what does a pump like that normally bring?

$5,000-$6500 complete.
Joe your 576 clock will also fit the 730 [electric version of 576 & maybe a few other WAYNE'S].

It would fit but wouldn't be correct
576 is a single hand clock that goes from 0 to 20
The 730 has two hands and goes from 0 to 19.

This one is set up to turn continuous in one direction then will stop at 0 in the opposite direction.
I never could figure out how to make a 21 to 1 ratio so I made them this way. It is a very simple design and is less $ than my normal clocks.
The 800 series pumps have a 20 to 1 ratio clock

Joe,that clock will not work on the 576,I have a 576 and the clocks are not even close to the 730.

That was within striking distance of me and I missed it. congrats gas pump hobbyist.
Does everyone google craigslist to get a listing of stuff for sale, or do you go on CL and do a search city by city, state by state?

I use Searchtempest.com to search on CL. Brady

Thanks Brady, I will give it a try
