Item 1.   Security and Issuer
          This Amendment No. 22 to Schedule 13D on Wynn's Interna-
tional, Inc. (the "Issuer") is being filed on behalf of the
undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D, as amended (the "Schedule
13D") which was originally filed on August 26, 1988. Unless
otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not
defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the
Schedule 13D.

Item 2.   Identity and Background
          This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mr.
Gabelli") and various entities which he directly or indirectly
controls or for which he acts as chief investment officer.  These
entities, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker
Industries, Incorporated ("Spinnaker", formerly known as Safety
Railway Services Corporation), Western New Mexico Telephone Company
("Western New Mexico"), Entoleter, Inc. ("Entoleter"),  Lynch
Telecommunications Corporation ("Lynch Telecom"), Lynch Telephone
Corporation ("Lynch Telephone") and Inter-Community Telephone
Company ("Inter-Community") (collectively, "Lynch and its affili-
ates"), engage in various aspects of the securities business,
primarily as investment adviser to various institutional and
individual clients, including registered investment companies and
pension plans, as broker/dealer and as general partner of various
private investment partnerships.  Certain of these entities may
also make investments for their own accounts. 
          The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own benefi-
cially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a particular
issuer.  Although several of the foregoing persons are treated as
institutional investors for purposes of reporting their beneficial
ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who
do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1%
threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13D or implementation of
their investment philosophy may from time to time require action
which could be viewed as not completely passive.  In order to avoid
any question as to whether their beneficial ownership is being
reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater
investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these persons
have decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more
detailed Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form Schedule
13G and thereby to provide more expansive disclosure than may be
necessary. 
          (a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one
or more of the following persons: Gabelli Funds, Inc. ("GFI"),
GAMCO Investors, Inc. ("GAMCO"), Gabelli Securities, Inc. ("GSI"),

Partnership L.P. ("GPP"), GLI, Inc. ("GLI"), Gabelli Associates

International Limited ("GIL"), Gabelli International II Limited

Partners, L.P. ("ALCE"), Gabelli Multimedia Partners, L.P.
("Multimedia Partners"), Mr. Gabelli, Lynch, Spinnaker, Western New
Mexico, Entoleter, Lynch Telecom, Lynch Telephone and Inter-

          (d) and (e) -  On December 8, 1994, the SEC instituted
and simultaneously accepted offers for the settlement of an
administrative proceeding against Gabelli & Company and GAMCO.  The
order instituting the proceeding included a finding, which Gabelli
& Company and GAMCO neither admitted nor denied, that they failed
to implement and maintain policies and procedures reasonably
designed to prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic information
by not sepecifically addressing the special circumstances that
arose from their affiliation with Lynch Corporation, a public
company.  To resolve this matter, Gabelli & Company and GAMCO
agreed to cease and desist from violating Section 15(f) of the 1934
Act and Section 204A of the Advisers Act, respectively.  They
further agreed to each pay a civil penalty in the amount of
$50,000, and to retain, and adopt the recommendations of, an
independant consultant regarding their Section 15(f) and Section
204A policies and procedures.  
          On December 13, 1991, the Virginia State Corporation
Commission entered an order of settlement in final disposition of
matters arising from an allegation that GAMCO had transacted
business in Virginia as an investment adviser without having been
registered as such under Virginia Code Section 13.1-504A or an
exemption therefrom.  GAMCO consented to the entry of the order
without admitting or denying the allegation and without a hearing. 
The terms of the order provide that GAMCO would pay a fine and
costs totalling fifty-five thousand dollars and would not transact
business in Virginia as an investment adviser unless it was
registered as such under section 13.1-504A or was exempt from
registration.  
     (f) - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto. 

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
          All Reporting Persons used an aggregate of approximately
$2,234,736 to purchase the Securities.  GAMCO and GFI used approxi-
mately $2,108,361 and $49,813, respectively, of funds that were
provided through the accounts of certain of their investment
advisory clients (and, in the case of some of such accounts at
GAMCO, may be through borrowings from client margin accounts) in
order to purchase the Securities for such clients.  GIL used
approximately $76,562 of working capital to purchase the Securities
reported by it.  

Item 5.   Interest In Securities Of The Issuer
          (a)  The aggregate number and percentage of Securities to
which this Schedule 13D relates is 1,431,277 shares, representing

beneficially by each of the foregoing persons other than Mr.

the sole power to vote or direct the vote and sole power to dispose
or to direct the disposition of the Securities reported for it,
either for its own benefit or for the benefit of its investment
clients or its partners, as the case may be, except that GAMCO
Investors, Inc. does not have authority to vote 81,750 of the
reported shares, and except that GFI has sole dispositive and

filers does not exceed 25% of their total voting interest in the
Issuer and in that event, the Proxy Voting Committee of each Fund
(other than The Gabelli Growth Fund) shall respectively vote that
Fund's shares, and except that, at any time, the Proxy Voting
Committee of each such Fund may take and exercise in its sole
discretion the entire voting power with respect to the shares held
by such Fund under special circumstances such as regulatory
considerations, and except that the power of Mr. Gabelli and GFI is
indirect with respect to Securities beneficially owned directly by
other Reporting Persons. 
          (c) Information with respect to all transactions in the
