ok guys, im new here. my dad just bought a wayne 70 pump to restore this spring and im having some trouble. i know there are variations of this pump so here what mine looks like. the doors have the small window (i have seens pics of small windows and big ones but only the big window bezels are available repo), right above the window is the spinner glass and then ablove that is the ad glass. my question is: where can i find a new chrome bezel for the window, because mine is pitted beyond restoring.. i just need a pair i can get rechromed. the same for the front ad glass bezels. they both seem the be made out of pot metal and are very pitted. the side ad glass is stainless steel. also, what face do i use for the meter? it seems to have the wayne 60 faces on it now. because it has the small window, the wayne 70's wont fit. im confused. any help would be much apriciated. thanks! tommy

The Wayne 70 was introduced in 1937. From your description, it sounds like you have an early version. Early versions had cast aluminun or pot metal bezels. Later version had stainless steel trim. If you can't find the cast ones, the stainless will fit and since your side ad glass already has stainless they will match.
The face for the 70 is almost identical to the 60 and replacement faces are available from vendors listed on this website. I have ads, sales literature and parts/repair manuals for this pump and the pump is also shown in my new gas pump identification book, due out May 10, 2002. For information on the literature, email me at: jhsim@swbell.net
