I had agreed to a price for an ALLEN SYNCHROGRAPH with a local BMW specialist shop. It came with the rare Ford front distributor adapter. The time was coming when all of their BMW traffic would be electronic and this vintage points machine would be obsolete to this shop.
I had used this machine more than a few times to set-up Flathead V8 dual points distributors. Someone did not "get the memo", I guess. The Synchrograph set out by the scrap bin and in an hour it was missing. The BMW repair shop lost $250 and a beautiful machine probably went to someone's junk collection.
If Peoria were closer, I would be on this in a New York Second. I am casually looking for a Synchrograph.
