Was Wayne the only maker of blending pumps used by SUNOCO? Was SUNOCO the only brand marketing blended fuel to the consumer?

I'm interested in finding a late 50's early, 60's Blending pump (Wayne 511 or 760 or other) either already schemed in SUNOCO or "restorable" to SUNOCO.

Any input?

Brian:

Check e-Bay. There's been a fellow that's been selling these SUNOCO pumps. He's had them both restored and ready to restore. I'll warn you however, he wants a mint for the restored one. Use 'Sunoco' as a search topic.

I have a Wayne 511. E-mail me at philmccauley@hotmail.com and I'll send some pictures. Thanks!!!

Thanks, T-way and Phil for your replies. Phil has a really nice Wayne non-blending pump done in Sunoco... and reasonable too, but I was set on a blending pump.

Watching Ebay patiently yielded an opportunty for what I hope turns out to be a good buy on what I was looking for.

But here's my question... this Wayne 511 looks just like the 511 in Jack's book (page 333), BUT the blend indicators on "my" pump are displayed through individual windows in the lower horizontal rail of the faceplate BEZEL/TRIM RING rather than on the faceplate itself as shown in the book... is this just a variation in design that occured between the 1958 cut and the Wayne 760 cut issued in 1962?

Thanks in advance for any clarification/replies.
