I'm new here and collect vintage hot rod instruments. Anything that would be used in a 40's - 50's hot rod built after ww2.
I bought this old tach and researching it has been tough. I've found nothing even similar. Jones motrola ?
It has the Consolidated wing logo trademark. The right angle drive is a 4 to 1 ratio.
It's all in very good condition. I have never seen a unrestored instrument from this era in this condition. It is just stunning. Just wondering what application it was made for ? I mainly collect but do sell at times to fund the collection. What would of had a 7500 rpm range back then ? I think it would be at home on a 20's Indy 500 car, thats just me. I will consider offers if someone needed it for its original application. Probally would keep the right angle drive and cable for my project.
Thanks for your time.
