First Off... A huge THANK YOU  '> To ZMonet for spotting this Jr on the Craiglist out of Green Bay Wisconsin, I can't thank you enough. I emailed the seller right away after seeing the post and Sweated it out all day, wondering if it was sold, or what ... Finally at 5:34pm last night he called and said it was still available and of course I played it cool and asked some questions, not wanting to sound too eager! because obviously I was going to pay asking price for it, but figured why not ask best price and he came down to 500 in a heartbeat, and I camly Screamed into the phone, SOLD. I even got him to meet me about an hour from Greenbay toward me, saving me 2 hours on the roundtrip. So with Bad weather and all, I set off this morning at 11am to meet him at 2pm in Central WI. Thank God for 4 wheel drive! Anyway, met him, got the little bugger packed up paid and headed home.... then for extra fun I took some backroads as I was about 60 miles from home to "look" for stuff along the way... I was driving by an old farm and out of the corner of my eye I spot a Gas pump ( I collect these too), I wheeled around and pulled in.. Here was an original Wayne 60 pump STILL IN SERVICE on this guys farm. Old Farmer just smiled and saild sorry not for sale... (he was still using it!!! See picture with cows in background, I left him my name and number and asked to take a photo and left.... NOT 5 miles down the road.. I spot another!!! I pull in and noone was home. The beast was frozen into the ground so I know it's not going anywhere for a while so I'll be revisting this guys place in spring... See other Wayne photo... SO all in all, a pretty exciting and productive Trip. enjoy the photos and once again THANK YOU to this Site, Zmonet for this one, and I hope I can return the favor sometime!!!

Hi Eric - If you spot any more of those little Wall Mounts in the next two months please let me know. They are just the right size to squeeze through customs and bring back from my vacation.
I'd love to just wheel a Junior through and load it on the plane but I think Virgin would have a fit with me trying to budge it into the overhead compartment.

Hey John, sounds like an exciting trip and I'm glad you got the Stoner Jr. I kept seeing the ad on craigslist and was wondering if anyone was ever going to grab it. You really need to let us see it when you're done with it and have it back to its original beauty. Man, all I can say is the more of these Stoners I see, the more I want one.

Thanks!

I've spoken to a few of my buddies who just do pumps and they said that in the condition those are in should be worth about 700. The parts that are missing are available through parts suppliers fairly cheap. Nice solid clean orignals will bring around 1000 up around me. I have a buddy whom I purchased all 4 of my pumps from and he comes across them quite often but only a few wayne 60's... He has two really nice ones, original and complete but he wants 1500 for them, as they are just that nice and don't need restoring as they look great the way they are! I'll be heading back that way to see if the other one is availble... and hopefully get a deal on it.

Good job getting that Stoner!
I would have shot for it, if it was located in California.
Stoner jr, on the hunt. Should have one before the end of summer.
