That is cool......
It will take you a day to hook it up.
considering my proverbial procastination skills it will probably be more than a day

hi Steve, it was after searching ebay trying to find one like yours, and realizing it was almost imposible to get it shipped to me, then i went virtually round the corner to a old electric auto workshop that had been there forever, and suddenly found the thing covered by a big Green cover (that is the reason for it being so well preserved), i immediately recongised the shape, it was no need to ask for what it was, i knew at a glance !
the nice thing is that they brought it to my garage in their van (almost 2km away), and they told me to check for good operation condition before paying for it, so by now it costed me virtually a bottle of "chablis" french wine that i gave them when they reached my garage (as a thanking gift).
Price if good condition has been agreed too
IMHO amazingly cheap considering that it includes a stroboscopic lamp, and a pressure/vaccum tester too, so all the operations that are explained in the blue manuals can be performed

Perfect, now I only have to drive to Bilbao to get my cars hooked up! ;-)

If you class yourself as a procrastinator then there is no hope for me.
well, do not consider it too bad, what i mean is that any other hman being would have immediately push the red buttons to switch the equipment on and try it immediately
i am unable to, i am going through a clean, repair, and reinstall of all the bits before doing that, and even now that is completed i need to find a good moment to hook it up and try it, i tend to concentrate in the details, there might be a reason for it, i fear a shortcircuit that might fry the old electronics, or to broke something that can not be replaced,...
the suspense is killing me!
DQ, mind if I come by with my Jag? I have a rough idle problem that I just can´t figure out. Looks like you´ve got just the right tools...
Carefull with iinvitations, soon you´ll find you´ve given up your dayjob and are now running a classic car garage...
i assume that no other one will be interested...

i am trying to find a replacement for my broken inductive clamp that does not allow me to make cylinder by cylinder comparison, and to use the strobo lamp
Having just repaired my strobe clamp have you considered grafting another clamp in place of the old one? Or take an existing working clamp with it's wire and hook it into the cabinet back so you don't see the wound. It's just a shielded cable around a central wire (2 connections) so maybe that would solve your problem.
Wonderful devotion to your craft deQ. A testament to how things used to made. I doubt that similar equipment built today would last and function 40 years from now.
Does it have an electric hum and make beep sounds? If it doesn't then I think you should add them for effect .
