picked this meter at a garage sale for free. Many of us have used this instrument in the past on our classics. More will have no clue as to what it is!

Yes, still needs more cleaning. I remember using a dwell meter years ago and to me it was a big deal at the time.

Nice dwell meter. Sun instruments are nice. The owner of the garage I got my first job in had a bunch of sun tools. I remember a big rolling cabinet that he used alot for tuneups

Dang-it
I love old tech like that even if it just sits on the shelf. Always generates conversation when the guys are hanging out in the garage.
