Title: This week's Craigslist score!
Post by: maxfax on September 02, 2010, 05:59:02 pm

AS though I need more crap to sit around I just couldn't say no to this...

Albeit dusty, it doesn't appear to have had much use...

Just for an older used one they seem to range from $400 - $1000..  And most of those on the low end of that range are strictly for alternators..   I hate to think what a new one is..   This one has a warning light when it detects electrical noise from ailing diodes (no more screwing with the O-scope under a car hood), and heck it's even old enough to test generators.. (Yes I see a fair amount of generators yet)..

For $100 and an hour's worth of driving I felt it well worth it..

You got it.. I think this one may have come from a Tractor dealer as it has International Harvester emblems on it...
