Sun Cabinet

Hey--haven't posted in a while. Life, etc. But I picked up a cool cabinet at a flea market this weekend and wanted to know if anybody could ID the original purpose. I figured it was probably a stand for an garage engine test station but....? There's a label inside the door, but it's unreadable.

 

Distributor machine.

 

I have posted this link before. Got it on here.

I have the exact same cabinit in my shop it originally had an occisiliscope mounted to it. I use mine for a belt/ disc sander stand

 

I'm pretty sure that was the one that was under some of the distributor machines and it may have been used on some of the older tune up machines.
It's a pretty handy cabinet for what ever you want to use it for.

 

The Sun 720 machine I had sat on one of those.

 

Mine had an early tune up machine on it

 

The HAMB comes through again--thanks guys!

Now that I know there are decals available, I'm gonna have to decide whether or not to restore it, or keep the patina...

 

When I was in high school (around 65/66), I worked in a tuneup shop. My boss bought a new Sun tune up machine with a scope/dwell meter/coil tester/etc. It sat on a cabinet just like yours.

Gave tithe tune up stuff away and kept the cabinet. Mid sixties I think. Could also check exhaust gases on the tester.

 

Gray cabinets they are mid forties to late fifties and thats an early logo....sixties would be the blue and red. Cool find.

 

Got one I do my head porting on. They are built heavy duty. Good score thats a keeper!
