This weekend I was helping a friend look for a new motorcycle. I was in Scandia at a house and in the corner of the garage stood this sun equipment. The guy said it worked 100% before being stored and he has the manuals. I have no idea of the value but he said he would part with it. I someone can't live without it I can put you in touch.

I'm not sure if it will work with electronic ignition, so it's questionable whether it would be useful for vintage cars unless they still have points.
It would certainly make for interesting garage art but it would need to be rather inexpensive to use it for that.
No hint on what he would want for it ??

He said if I talked my friend into buying his bike he would give it to me, other than that your guess is as good as mine. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

It works on electronic ignitions. I used it several times back in the early 90's when I first got into the repair field. By the mid to late 90's they finally stopped getting used by most shops so they work with any ignition system, I had my 66 w/Mallory Unilite hooked up to one several times actually. They dont really care or know what type of ignition system it is, they just want to see spark in the wires. Some of the features are useless unless you have a points ignition though, adjusting dwell for instance.

We had one of those in our dealership in the early 70's. It was totally "Jetsons" stuff back then!!

We still have a version of one here at work somewhere.
