the range is + - .003 full scale - I'll send you a photo separately to it
doesn't clutter the NG.

at a swap meet, there was this large lonley looking machine thingie in a

comparator - looks like it will clean up and be fine, but I haven't
lifted it out of the car yet (hurt back, need to wait a few more days).
Now that I know what it is, I am quite sure I'll never need it, though I
suppose I could put the anvil aside to use for some purpose - I'd rather
see this find a good home - will trade for something I can use, or of
course cold hard cash - it's heavy, and in the Los Angeles area - if you
want it, contact me using the instructions below. If you want to talk
about the foolishness of buying yet another tool to "find out what it is,
really", then have at it on the list - I'm sure we can all add our
valuable input. This thing was certainly NOT CHEAP at one time - it's a
lot cheaper now....



What does the scale read? I used to repair hundreds of these things for
the Chrysler transmission plant in Kokomo.
