?Any interest? gauge / sender test tool / resistors?

[67Dart273]

Now that Radio$h*t is down for the count for many people, I'm thinking of

1....At least buying a bunch of appropriate gauge / sender test resistors. These would imitate the factory test box, so you can use the destructions in the shop manuals, for low, med, high readings

2.....Maybe building a repop factory gauge / sender test box, the C-3826, a first try of which I built for myself. That would be considered a "test mule" IE what I sell might be quite different, although, same in function.

If you are interested, I'll have to research a cheap box and small switch. Resistors are cheap. Someone recently posted a 'heck of a good shot of the original, here

I used to have an original one of those Miller Tools gauge testers, but lost it when I moved and they no longer are available.

So yes, I would be interested in one.

That's the one where you can put it on "high, med, and low" and verify that the gauge reads correctly, right?

Gauging interest are we Del? Sorry I couldn't hep myself.

Nice one bruce...

If I bought a dozen of them, would that mean I have a twelve gauge??? :glasses7:

Of course not, as you would have a 12ga (tester)

 

[67Dart273]

Troubleshooting gauges with a 12 gauge is not recommended, LMAO

If price was reasonable I would be interested

I'm also interested depending on price....Thanks

Me too how much?

 

[67Dart273]

I don't know. I'm thinking "simple switch" "simple box" and some test clips even a bit downscaled from what I built to keep costs down. After all this won't be used much.

I'm going to have to get busy and research parts costs and think how I can build a few. I'm not doing this to make money LOL

Is it any more than a multi-pole switch, some resistors, and test leads?

 

[67Dart273]

Well the trick is to get a cheap enough switch that will actually work, LOL, otherwise you are quickly getting into "some money." While I'm not looking to make real money on this, I don't want to throw away time either.

While more clumsy than one switch, a pair of slide switches would work, and "used to be" inexpensive.

Yes, we don't want to be "gouged on the gauge..." :violent1:

Sorry, I had to slip that in...

 

[72bluNblu]

I'd be interested in one. I know I have enough gauges laying around to test to make it worthwhile.

 

[Mr.FT]

I may be interested depending on price.

 

[krazykuda]

Resistance is futile...

I may be interested depending on price.

Me too!

Any update on this testing tool??
