My Latest Score - SUN Machine

[KingKoser06]

Check this bad boy out. My brother in law owns a few storage areas and one of his units was rented out to a guy who had a bunch of old cars and parts and stuff stored in it. He was getting out of the hobby and moving out of state. My BIL gave him my number after he asked if he knew anyone who might be interested in some stuff that he had.

Long story short I ended up with a lot of his NOS parts, automobilia, tools, etc. In the very back corner, was this old Sun 1115 Engine Performance Analyzer. I asked him about it and he said he won it in a raffle, used it once, and there it sat. He told me it is fully functional and when I asked him what he wanted for it, he looked at me and went “kid, that thing is so @#$%ing heavy that if you can get it out of here and in your truck, its yours…

SAY NO MORE! This was around 3:00 on a Friday afternoon, so I quickly ran across the street to a warehouse, found the foreman, and told him “I have $50 with your name on it if i can borrow you AND your forklift across the street for 20 minutes” (I couldn’t make this up if i tried) So me and him rode across the industrial park, got the machine out of the unit and in my truck in no time.

Drove it all the way home, and across the street from my shop is a paving company. I’m cool with them and they let me borrow their shop forklift, and then lifted it out of the truck and into the shop. I plugged it in, and it lite right up.

Pretty cool I think, thankfully it came with all the manuals and stuff so I know how to use the scope and everything. My wife even came and took a pic of me using it. If nothing else, it looks cool.
