Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana POTM "Pump of the Month" January 2019

Early in the thread I mentioned that I would share the 300/500 series that I sold. The first three of the eleven I sold are 542`s. The 542 is a twin pump. The 542 twin is two single pumps bolted together at the base. The base has a flat spot where they bolt together. The other difference from a 541 is the reset crank is on the hose side.

I have been asked four times what the difference is between a 543 and a 541 sense this POTM started. A 543 has a non-computing Veeder-Root. There were three versions of a non-computing Veeder-Root. The one that the 543 used is pictured below along with a 543 face. This non-computing V-R does not have the price wheels at the bottom. The lower large wheels are the price wheels on this V-R. Notice the price wheels do not have blinders. Also there is no variator below the head unit because that is the part that calculates the dollar amount. The drive connector is directly under the head unit. Also notice the knob next to it that is used to change the price on the price wheels. The last picture shows the gear above the knob. Almost all the 543s I have seen have been converted to computing V-Rs, that makes them a 541.

This is another version of a non-computing Veeder-Root. This one has the price wheels at the bottom and the total amount wheels are missing. Notice the knobs below the price wheels to change the price. This one is from a Wayne 70.

Thanks for the great information Matt!
