History bought a Sun Tach... then three rows over bought this!

I bought a sun tach and then just a couple rows over I found this at the Tulsa Swap meet... couldn't pass it up for $20. Heck the little sign on top was worth that to me... and it came with 3 scopes.

Should look cool in our ol' 50s gas station mock up...

 

That's bad ass. I'll give ya $30 for it.

 

Cool I'll deliver it!!

Can anyone tell me about it other than, it's a Sun 900 Scope Motor Tester???

 

There should be a large round scope in the middle of it. Did you say you got three of them with it? You scored on that deal for sure. There's a guy on eGay with a 740 that wants $650 for his! Also check this out:

sweet, good deal, thats badd ass....

 

that looks like the f'n thing they had frankenstein wired too !..............dave

 

Cool. I will wait by the door.

 

Sherman! Set the wayback machine to 1955!

 

if you get really lucky you might find the scope part eventually.

 

I got the scope, and have to meet up with him in Tulsa to get the other two, so I assume I got a complete machine... I also got enough wiring to recycle and buy a new car!! hahaha

 

make sure to post up pictures of the entire thing when it's together

 

I have this generator -starter testor and it appears to actually function.Too bad it's the wrong color and maybe a bit older to fill in your set.

 

I think that one was built before god made dirt but most of the gages should still work ok. It's worth the price if just the vacuum gage works.

They don't usually like the voltage from and may not work with electronic ign but for a point setup it should work great.

 

$20 damn i walked right by it ....

 

LOL, got one a few years back for $10... and it all works...

 

Thanks for stealing my thunder Zman!

 

Not trying to steal your thunder... Hell mine has a lot of surface rust, and I have no idea how to get rid of it without messing up the screening. Yours looks real good. I missed one of the 900's at the local State Surplus Auction, it was in mint condition, lived in a state shop forever. The week I didn't stop by and it went for about $50...

 

Cool Chad. Good buy.

 

Kool score !

Rat

 

That Sun stuff is so damn cool. Good score.

 

That's really neat.

 

I'm going to see if he has the base/cart that it all mounts to when I get the other scopes from him... I hope he has it!

 

If he does see if he has the tune ups cards, there should be a box of about 8 1/2 x 11 cards with tune up specs for different vehicles.

 

I was just a shop Friday doing some 3M lead free wheel weight demoes, the shop was built in 1958 and had all kinds of cool sun stuff ans well as a cool alinment pit with the mirrors etc. I tild them if they ever get rid of this stuff to call me first. BTW the still used there Sun unit from 1967 and they had a Sun alt/gen testing unit. Cool Find

 

Ahhh great!! ANOTHER reason to be jealous of Chad and Zman!!!

 

whatever!!!! trade you for your coupe body??

 

Gawd I bought one of those at a swap meet in Portland, Ore. when i was in highschool for 25 bucks. Glad to see that they have pretty much held thier value.

You done good.

 

Those work great , I used one of those in the 70's see if you can go on ebay and find the books for it you'll be amased at what all it does. I still have my old set of scopes and the distributor set up machine from the 50's I still use it on the flat heads and old chevys.Good score ..........you done good

 

Great score.

 

Those things are Cool!! Wished I had one! Oh wait, I do!



Have used it a couple times on my Shoebox, very handy thing to have around for sure!
