The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Tool Chest Vintage Allen Garage Equipment

I went to an auction on Saturday and have cornered the market on old Allen test equipment and replacement guages, that wasn't my goal. Some Sun equipment guages were mixed in. I actually just wanted the Sun tach 6v 8cyl transmitter that was in one box. I'd guess I have 75 replacement guages. They sell the stuff 1 pallet at a time, if one pallet doesn't bring $10 they move to the 2nd, if the total of the 2 doesn't equal $20 they move to the 3rd. I ended up having to buy 3 pallets for $30 to get the transmitter. I had $30 worth of fun going through all the boxes seeing what I got. In addition to the guages I ended up with some test equipment Has anyone here ever used any of the items in the pictures and what does it do. Pretty cool stuff and in good shape, it all looks usable. Help.

Boy, that one in the fourth picture is cool. I like those old test things.

Looks like they are for doing tune-ups, I see tach, voltmeters, etc. Boy, one of those, and a sweet old vacuum gauge, and watch-out, instant mechanic!

Nice score. I always haunt garage sales looking for stuff like that, no luck yet!

I have some similar items, here is the Sun Vacuum Tester I also have a Sun Volts/Amps unit. They sell the manuals as CD's on eBay for many of these.
