Looks to be a 120Vac to 12 or 7Vdc power supply. If you go by the dial.

notice the "0" on the knob is on 5 and the tach is at 5k

theres another pic with the tach at zero...so its powering the tach some way...

Frequency generator/signal generator? Unless it is custom calibrated for cycles per minute, 5,000 rpm would be 83.3 Hz...correct?

It's still a power supply. Just a label over the dc voltage range for the tach readout in rpm.

Build your own 6000 rpm signal generator.... or have some nerd build it for you.

Pulse generator. Same as a distributor mounted on a Sun Dist. machine

You guys are correct. I was not thinking frequency only on a voltage stand point.:beers:
