I just happened to stumble across this thread & I too am friends with the gentleman that got scammed. I've sold him a few gauges in past & he...

Here is an unusual & very cool old cast gauge panel. Certain features indicate that it was probably done on the late 1950's to the early 1960's....
Those gauge bezels were pressed in very tightly from the factory, so if there was not way for the environment to permeate the inner space, the...
For starters, the bezel looks like it's toast, so you may as well do what you can to get it off & start from there. Try to save the glass,...
Yeah, Ziffer, those Autocar type gauges were used in other vehicles of the day. They were made by Stewart-Warner & the only problem was that the...
Here is a lot of 6 tachometers. All the electric ones are 12V, 8cyl. 4 are 5,000 RPMs & 1 is 6,000 RPMs, from the 1960's & are electric. The...
I thought I had posted this picture when I saw them come up for sale on Ebay a few years ago, but I see I did not. I actually had a decent bid on...
Yeah, the 2,500 & 4,000 AC tachs are quite plentiful & as well made & good looking as you'd ever want. Why on earth the AC marketing people at the...
I found a tachometer, which has an interesting history & thought I'd add it to what I believe might be the greatest old car/hot rod database in...
Even though I’ve been aware of all the scattered details along the way, it’s nice to hear the saga from beginning to end, in one neat little...
Flat out rare.
Up again...hard to find 3-1/2" rear mounts.
Keep up the good work...it's doable. I remember making a similar bathtub, only with vinegar. I did the passenger door first, so I could learn when...
Yeah, I was one of the first to get the "street rod" plates, many moons ago. It was total chaos & everyone involved said something different about...
Same, here. I'm still running the cable he made for me over 10 years ago to mate my S/W Wings speedo to my Saginaw 4-speed. I never had it...
Here would be a nice Christmas present for yourself... pretty much the holy grail of hot rod gauges...a nice matching set of very hard to find...
Here is one that's getting harder & harder to find, especially in good working condition. Stewart-Warner made these for cars & industry, starting...
It'd make a great stand alone gauge...works great.
Here is a very hard to find S/W 8,000 RPM tach, date coded 1955. This was the first year the Large Logo model was made, which followed the one...
Here is a beautiful example of the hard to find 160 MPH speedometer that S/W made in the mid to late 1950's. It's in really nice working...
...guarding my stash. [ATTACH]
Here is a hard-to-find G.M. Diesel gauge panel....sometimes called the "Detriot Diesel." Some of them came with "G.M. Diesel" painted on the...
Hard to find period gauges....working.
Here is an esoteric piece of automotive history in the form of a working vacuum gauge. It was made by U.S. Gauge for Maybach-Motorenbau before...
The first unit is $220 & the second is $170. The prices are plus shipping, which is $17 Priority Mail to the lower 48. The first P.M. committing...
4 & 7 still for sale...free shipping.
Here are two hard to find Stewart-Warner rear mount gauges. They fit into the standard 3-1/2" holes in the gauge panels S/W produced in the...
