    Ever have one of those moments, where you know you've seen something before, but you just cant put your finger on it ? (The older I get the more this happens. :eek:)

    Every Tuesday morning, a group of us local Hot Rodders meet at a restaurant in St.Helen Mi. We have breakfast and pretty much annoy the wait staff :D
    We talk about what were working on, help each other out, and tease each other unmercifully. Sometimes one of the guys will have a question or a part they can't quite identify,..... Last Tuesday was such a case.

    My ol' Pal Roland, Came in and sat this Tachometer on the table,..... O.K. ,
    I know I have seen one before, But I cant remember anything about it. So how about it guys,..... share your knowledge , What can you tell me about this Tach ?
    ( I thought it might have something to do with Sun Instruments )

    Here is what it says,...
    Radatron Inc. N. Tonawanda N.Y. USA

    And here are some crappy cell phone pictures,.... Thanks Guys

    Back in the 60's & 70's they were called R.A.C.,this brand of gauges was available at K-Mart and Western Auto. "Gotta Rac Tach" ?
