Analyzers from the day

Not sure when all of these were in use but visited a great auto museum in Phoenix. Mel Martins collection. Besides some great cars, thought I would not be too far off FAQ course by posting some of these. Some of the old-timers I am sure have used these ?

these were staples in the  couple of gas stations I worked at back in the late 60's early 70's .......now its a lap top.

 

Brings back fond memories.

Oh yeah, can't believe that this stuff is a museum. Used to use the dist machine at the BMW dealership that I worked at all the time to set up distributors, re set the timing curve, was a lot of fun. We also had the Sun tune up stuff as well, took almost as long to hook up everything as it was to do the test HAHA   Had a big Allen 4 gas / full engine diagnostic set up at my own shop many years ago, cost over 40 grand back then, lot of money ( and was always having issues )     Just missed my old dealership that I used to work for, getting rid of their old sun dist machine, would love to find one again

I like the coca-cola bottles better. The sheer space and weight these machines would take up is just scary thought.

Old Timers???     Can't believe that they are in a museum either. Am I next?    dq

Back in the day when service stations were being converted to convenience stores that sell gas you could pick this stuff up on the curb now it's worth big bucks and it all still works on pre-computer cars.
