I brought home a Roman yesterday and now the search starts for a few parts:

Looking for a broken base piece with enough left to repair the piece I am missing.
The 3 lower access doors - I know I can buy repops but just throwing it out there in case someone has at least one original to spare
A patch panel for the column about 12" by 18" - This is one of my many options
Original pump handle - I've been told these are the same as the Wayne 515, 517 or 519 pumps also

Please let me know if you can help
Thanks, Jerry

The pump handles are not quite the same. The Roman does not have the lock tab on the back side. Your pump shaft appears to be too long but that's an easy fix.

Also, many of the 515 519 pumps take a pump handle with a larger shaft than the 492 pumps take.

So cool. I had a chance 40 years ago at the Turlock swap meet to buy one
for $1500. But that was out on the question.

Looks to be an original paint pump. The pumps left the factory with an olive green paint job.

Looks pretty complete. I see it has the handle lock...a lot of people would like to have one of those for their pumps.

I have a trick for fixing the columns if you need...I’ve fixed a number of them with good results. I also think I have an original nozzle still sitting around.

Cool pump.

I believe that there is an original pump handle for this on ebay now, I believe.

If it is the one that I am thinking about, it is for a 515 519.

I thought that the Roman handles were a little shorter and no lock tab.. I may be wrong ( not first time according to my wife)


I collect Phillips 66 and globes pumps & signs esp Iowa co.
