Sunpro Sensor Tester

This was in a box of electronics from an estate auction. From what I understand it is used to test various ignition and timing sensors directly instead of through an ODBII port. Is there a use case for this anymore or should it go to the recycle center?

here is a link to the instructions - but in Spanish, so I can't help other than that, but if you can read Spanish, you can see if it's worth it to you. My Spanish only goes as far as the Menu at Taco Bell and local Mexican Restaurants, and I do not see "burrito" or "enchilada" anywhere in it.

Don't send it to the recycle center...

I appreciate the manual, but I can foresee no time in my life where I would ever need to troubleshoot a sensor like that. I don't own any vehicles that old and I have a decent OBDII scanner. I don't know if this is useful for a "retro" car guy or not.

Somehow I double posted. Sorry.

a scanner does not test the sensor. A way to test sensors is necessary to diagnose system.
