$3 Tachometer

I went to a garage sale with my wife yesterday. The sign said tools, so I thought I could survive it. The lady was selling her deceased father's collection and there were lots of tools (hand tools, electric tools, air tools), but nothing I need at this moment. In box marked "$3 each" was a Sunpro Tachometer. I gave her the $3 and took it home. I downloaded installation instructions off the net, then I hooked up the wiring to see if it works. It works! The next time I have a few minutes I'll install it.

Very cool! I bought by '63 Ranchero at a yard sale. (I also bought a few parts for it that the previous owner bought but never installed.)

Lucky! I never find anything at yard sales but pure junk that they want too much $$ for.

$3 Tachometer

My dad got a brand new Craftsman work bench at a garage sale about a year ago. 10 bucks. the thing was less than a year old. it wasn't even dirty. Divorce sale. The had an engine stand and jack stands for 5 bucks each. By the time i got down there they were gone.

I picked up an 750 double pumper a couple months back for about $15 - not quite as good as a $3 tach, but I was pretty happy with it.
