Hello from Reynolds Ne.

[earl_leonard]

I joined to try to learn more about a Ford Distributor Stroboscope that I recently purchased at an auction. After purchasing it I learned that it is used on 1930-40 era ford distributors. I have found several pictures on line, I have not yet examined the books that came with it. It may have a cord cut on the back. Otherwise it may be complete. I did notice an extra tube in the drawer with the books. Beyond that I know nothing about the tool. My questions are: Are parts if needed available? Is ther much demand for such a machine? What is its value? Where would be the best place to sell such a machine? Thank you in advance for any help that you may offer.

Welcome to the GJ from VA!
You might want to post those questions in the General Tool Discussion forum where there will be many more people watching than here.
You wouldn't mean one like this one, would you?

Yes that is the machine. I got it Saturday and have not had much time to look it over. The auction was for the widow of a well respected mechanic. I worked with him for a few years several years ago. I was able to buy his main tool box, and my dakota pickup was level full of other tools and parts, had to put some of the stuff in a trailer. Still need to unload the trailer.
