Vintage Sun Tune Up, Testers, Scopes, Analyzer, Distributor Thread

Yeah I think that is the part I have at home. I will take pics of it but it is sealed up so not sure what it looks like on the inside.

 

OK, I know where the part is but I cannot access it at the moment. I thought I had a picture of it but apparently don't. Give me a few days to move my car and I will see about digging it out.

That's cool and no rush. Thanks for checking!

 

This Sun meter came with a parts lot I bought. Part number on box 604 206
I know nothing about it, but that the glass is loose.
Does it have any worth? Or just trash it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Maybe put it up for sale in the classified section? Someone might be looking for one to repair a machine.

 

I suspect that your volt gauge might be a non-working unit that was taken from some piece of Sun test equipment. The failed gauge was removed and placed in the box that the new gauge came in. Maybe it was supposed to be returned to Sun to be refurbished. Or to be desroyed and scrapped. Sun tended to lease most of their equipment. When the lease ended and the equipment was replaced, they were notorious for usually destroying the off-lease stuff. They didn't want their used equipment to dilute the market potential for their new equipment.

Even if it didn't work it might be worth something just to fill a hole on someone's volt/amp tester. Might even be the same gauge used in the older tune-up scope engine analyzer consoles. Or maybe like something that a "steam-punk" maker should be interested in.

 

Thanks, I put it up for sale in the classified section.

 

Fantastic pic!
