Check out this vintage Sun Analyzer I just found..
A local long-time, family owned Chrysler dealer near me had this sitting unused in their back room for the past 25 years. They listed their Sun 1115 Performance Anaylzer on Craigslist but no-one contacted them expect for me. He originally wanted $500, but I told him honestly, these don't really sell for all that much since they are impossible to ship and hard to move. I had a nice time talking with the owner and asked him to please check recent ebay listings and he could see similar units selling for between $15 and $150. He called me yesterday and told me I could have it for $100. So I went by today and picked it up. You won't believe the documentation and manuals inside it, and extra tools. The manuals go back to 1953! There are vintage compression testers and a vintage armature tester too!
I spoke with one of the mechanics and he said they still have all their old sales files too! Armature tester: Compression tester: Paperwork galore! Didn't someone have a recent tech question about the ECS emission control solenoid and how it worked with the transmisson? Here is some diagnostic stuff... Now I have to go back and read my old votech manuals from 1980 and all this stuff to see if I can figure it all out again. |

Hey, you did buy it!!
Good for you! When you get it all figured out, let me know. Honestly, I would gladly pay for copies of a couple of those manuals that I didn't get with mine. Congrats! |

When can I bring the car over for a tune up?

I have always thought this old diagnostic equipment was cool and picked up one of these analyzers as well as a couple of distributor machines. Unfortunately Steve is right, these analyzers never seem to bring much money as I found out when I finally realized I really didn't have the room for it and ended up giving it away. Hopefully the guy I gave it to will put it to good use.

Nice piece!!
I remember a local shop had one of those in the mid sixties - It was high tech for the time - If you had a problem you couldn't figure out, that's where you went

Does anyone know of any dealers out there that sell new/used lead sets for Sun equipment? The originals are kind of chewed up and the timing light has seen better days.

Steve, IF you get any "leads", let me know. I need the O-scope harness for my SUN model 960 "Scope Motor Tester" (circa '68)
