I have two art deco 1940's coming in next week, like a addiction, figure make them all good and sell them at Carlisle next year. Definitely a addiction, but hell they are cheap right now around here.

Kind of surprised Bob is not into these, they are cheap right now all the grandfathers are passing and the kids are getting rid of them on craigslist.
 
man o man , well since more cars today are dizzy less , service and tune ups are just about gone for basic transportation . i would think these are a great addition to a collectors show place or a guy like us . thats got to have everything , lol . at least the tires still have air in them , no thats right its nitrogen now isn't it . lol . nothing stays the same does it .

I've found as many parts car Polaras in the last year as I have for the whole time I've owned my Polara, and this time around in buying them! Price is Right and I can sell some stuff to recoup a little money. But I'm getting my parts I need/want.

Around me the Sun machines are holding their value, I'll use my old roommates machine to tweak my dizzy when the need arises. I'd be looking for these machines if you were closer!
 
If the price is right shipping through Fastenal is usually around 150 for a tester and cabinet. Just got this one yesterday! The top got ripped off though, it was there when shipped some one grabbed it, doing a claim on it.
last pic is what it got shipped as.
