Yes, I'm looking for a needle in a haystack crazy . But we all have odd things lying in the corner wondering what we are going to do with them.

In the next 15 or 20 years, I'd like to come across the complete top to a late model Wayne 50. Have nothing above top of main cabinet. (For that matter, I don't have doors, center rod/shelf bracket either - but not worrying about the "small" items now.)

If I haven't found one by the time I get to restoring this pump (see 15-20 years note above) - I've got the top half of a 60 that I'll modify and mount on there. No, it won't be right - but it will look complete to someone who doesn't know better. Maybe it can be my "outside" showcase pump?

Appreciate any help/leads. Doesn't have to be pretty or complete - I'll try to work with anything.

Thanks!

The WAYNE 56 is a Twin 60 head pump, so do a Single head & ID it as a 28 ! LOL

Great idea Dick- thanks - I just may do that!

Do you have a pic of a 56 handy for reference?? Is it in Jack's book?

Yes it is Pg327, 2nd edition.
VR is moved up & Adv Glass below the faces [by removing the adv panel made it easier to adjust the VR for diff pricing].

thanks - I found pic of 56 - awesome pump! I must have first edition - it's on page 324 in my book. Is it worth picking up 2nd edition? New pumps included??

On the 56 - unclear on how lowering ad glass made adjusting price easier on VR? Access from bottom?

Did the 55 and 56 both use the wide body version of the 60?
thanks!

There is a guy in Nebraska with the head only, He goes to Barrett Jackson each year. Maybe someone can remember his name.
