Need an A/C recycling machine to go with it? I have 2 real cheap!

Have you tried to used the exhaust analyzer yet? I'd be surprised if it still functioned - they used latex-based tubing for some of the internal plumbing and they may have turned to dust after this long.
I Only realized it unbolted after I read the manual and it was already unloaded. The “sniffer” sometimes works…. Most times not. Though it’s not really necessary for my purposes

What I’d really like to get is one of those distributor machines that you set your curve on.

If you pull off the giant back panel you will see all the hoses that are involved with the siffer system. You can carefully replace each one with clear fuel line hose. There is one specific hose that has a restricted oriface built in. You can actually reproduce it with the clear fuel line by sliding a similar thickness piece of copper wire inside a section of plastic hose and the melting the hose and flattening it. Once it cools, pull out the metal wire and the oriface is successfully reproduced.
