Thought I would post a correct nozzle and holder (minus brass polishing and chroming) for the Wayne 800.
As Petrolpumps indicated, good looking pump -- love the Texaco theme!!!

Remember that Wayne made an 800 and an 800A. Here's the other style nozzle hanger from one of my original pumps. Ron

800A has the pricer boxes, correct? I've had 8 800s but never an 800A...must have been a midwest/east coast thing  If the restored pump is an 800A, then he has the nozzle receptacle on backwards I would think. In either case, I don't see how that on/off switch would be original.

Remember that Wayne made an 800 and an 800A. Here's the other style nozzle hanger from one of my original pumps. Ron Thanks for sharing Ron. Here are a couple of pictures of the nozzle side of this pump. We took it apart and put it back the same way it came to us. And as confirmed by your picture looks like the nozzle receptacle is on backwards. As I mentioned, this was the first one of these that we have restored so really had no benchmark to go against. Still a bit confused about the off/on switch on the front of this pump. Must have been engineered into the pump somewhere along the line, the owner said it has been that way as far back as he could remember the pump.

That's what was looking weird! Flip the nozzle receive the other way...like is pictured on Ron's pump. Are you aware if your pump was originally an 800A or not? Are the original tags still around?

Called the owner the other day after sharing the picture of Ron's pump. He was going to turn the receiver around. No original tags were on the pump when it came into the shop. If Ron's picture is an 800A I assume the one we did is as well? Thanks for sharing some insight on this particular pump, we certainly learned something.
