Anyone use the large type Engine Analyzers in their home shops?

I have a buddy that has a couple he wants to get rid of. One is an FMC and I think the other is a Bear.
Here is mine

 

EET-1160 on trolley, and VAT-20 underneath.

Master Distributor Tester (late 40s) and EET-1120 with cabinets.

 

Here are mine:



Dyna vision



Heathkit

Been picking up a few on the small sun ones too

I need the manual for this
Help a girl out!!

 

Never found a manual. now it sits waiting for someone to come get it.

 

Need a manual for my Allen Diagnostic system I (23-468) and 14-128
Bought it today in the Netherlands but don't know anything about it.
Who can help me? Any information is welcome.

 

I have a Precision system and I am crazy about it, both for what I am able to do with it, and the era it represents. I also have a Sun system that I use for show, and I keep swearing that I am going to dig into it, change the capacitors, and get it operational again.
In the interest of total craziness, I also have a Bear alignment rack and wheel balancer. My shop looks like Pa Kettle's yard, and I won't show a picture of it, but there is hope. This late in life, I'm 74, I am in the process of building a 2000 sq ft garage.
I am sure you will get lots of use out of the tester, and even if you don't, it will look fantastic in your shop.

Sorry to tell you, but I tried the links and they are all dead. I was interested in picking up some manuals on the Bear wheel balancer

My Sun system is a 740, but I have none of the instructions. I would sure like to get my hands on a schematic.

 

I have an Allen Smart scope that needs to be removed from a house, as far as I know, it still works, has the paper rolls and I believe the manual. All other scopes have since been removed. This thing is a bear. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...e-analyzers-in-their-home-shops.448266/page-2 has a pic of the exact same model. Its free if anyone want to pull it out of the house

 

Not sure if this is allowed here, if not, lemme know and I will delete

This is my Sun machine in action at home. If I pull it out, it's usually just because I think it's cool.

 

Do the lights dim in the neighborhood when you turn it on?

 

Picked up this Heathkit recently, this model definitely take up less room. Had all the manuals, sheets and schematic, and the cables. See these for sale fairly often but they are almost always missing the cables, that'll never do. This particular model uses vacuum tubes. Later versions of course solid state. The deal with antique or vintage electronics, it's a really Bad Idea to plug them in and "see if it works". Don't do this.

As suspected a couple of the main 40 MFD filter electrolytic power supply capacitors were nearly shorted out. Still needs a little more work but it has a bright display and seems to work OK, I need to learn a lot more how to interpret waveforms. Quick test of my 292 Y-Block last night, looks to me like a bad plug wire or maybe a defective distributor cap or something like that on the #6 cylinder.

The manual is dated Feb 1961 and had a list price of $89.95 in "Do-it-yourself" kit form, $169.95 factory assembled. This is a kit version, when buying this type of equipment you'll have to judge for yourself the competence of the kit builder.

$90 was a fair chunk of change in 1961, easily equal to $900 in today's money. But it represented a considerable cost savings over other models. By way of comparison models like the DuMont Engine-Scope model 901 sold for $725, Sun Electric SS for $535, the Heyer Dyna Vision for $530, the Allen Scope for $369. So, a good scope cost as much as a car!

 

Use it on the 50s Fords that I work on. Its the BIG screen that also serves as my tanning booth !

 

I currently own and use 2 Allen SmartScope engine analyzers. Since everything I own/drive is pre 1990, they work fine.

 

Since I sold all of my "jalopies" years ago: '48 Packard, '54 Chevy, '55 Chevy pickup, '56 Chevy, '56 Studebaker and '57 Chevy and I've been informed that my '66 Mustang doesn't qualify, I don't know if I'll be able to stay on this site. Though I do have a '65 Chevy 3 spd manual trans left in my stockpile. It's for sale, cheap, if someone could use it.
