The Jalopy Journal
Yes, it's "rare," because Stewart-Warner never made a mechanical version. I had a nice S/W industrial 6K tach & the parts (cup, face, needle,...
I had one like that back in the day, Ryno, but I have no pics of anything. The digital camera wasn't invented yet. It sure wasn't as nice as...
Still have the big treasure...#3. If you're looking for probably the best original for sale on the planet right now, this is it.
Here is a great piece that you rarely see come up for sale. Stewart-Warner made these in the late 1950's/ early 1960's house switches or lights...
Here are three mechanical Stewart-Warner (Big Block/Large Logo) tachometers from the 1950's. This model directly followed the Wings gauges, which...
Here is an early version of then iconic Stewart-Warner "Ensign" gauge panel. I say this because the light stanchions hold the old style bulb cups...
Here is a very nice looking early Sun 3,500 RPM D-1 tachometer. It is the rare white number version, rather than the brown number version you see...
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...
