Are they old and interesting? Put them in Classic Auto tools, I guess.

Tool nerds we are :)

We also love pictures of vintage an antique tools.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

I saw a Weidenhoff today that made me jealous!

it was  about 4 x 5 feet on slate with gauges and knife switches and lots of brass.  sadly too much $$ and no pictures.

Some of the old test stands look like they came right out of  Frankenstein's laboratory...

Makes me wish I had a large barn....*sigh*

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

I scored two old condenser and ignition coil testers over the weekend.  a T&H Analyzer Model 150 and a HArvey Hansen out of PawPaw MI.  Haven't tested either one out yet, but the meters are cool

Bump!!  So what's happening? any photos? 
I use to have a big old SUN analyzer with oscilloscope,  cabinet on wheels, boom for cables, even a HCo exhaust analyzer pickup. great machine!! Too bad someone thought the same & stole it! something that big rolled out my garage.. takes 2 guys to load it into a truck..
