Vintage SUN Engine Performance machine & tester

Is there anybody in the NY/NJ/PA area with one of these they want to get rid of? I'd love to have one. I trained on these back in 1980 when I went to Denver Automotive and Diesel College. (I still have the diploma hanging in my office next to my law degree)

Steve,
Are you interested in any specific model or era? Sun made quite a variety of them. They all perform "basically" the same tests, but are you interested in one that's more period correct for the cars in your garage?
I want to get mine operational, that is, the missing O-scope cable. They were the state of the art in their day. So, they still are where my cars are concerned....

I'm not looking for any particular era model. I would actually want it for tuning my cars.

I used one those, when I worked at Lafferty Chev in 1983. Very cool

I used a Sun 400 last weekend to tune a car. Even used the exhaust gas analyzer on it...these things are bulletproof!
If anybody has a spare glass lens for the vacuum gauge, mine has been broken forever (20 years!)

They are more than just garage art.

You're preachin' to the choir, Colin...
