Yep and with the number of people who know how to run one and make a dist. do what is suppose to do when it is suppose to do it the list gets shorter each day. and find a WORKING dist strobe is even harder to find . Places that use to have them scrapped them along with the old scopes . scopes did not work on the new stuff and the computer took care of timing . Back in the late 70's and early 80's when i was running all over 27 states being a Commercial tourist i hauled scrap sometimes and ya saw sun and Allide scopes and dist strobes in scrap yards all over the place all crushed up . The only one i know of left in my area is the one i have . Back way back every car dealer and every gas station that did car repair had one , In 1964 i bought the latest and greatest a new 1020 Sun and a 505 Sun Dist. strobe and went to five training session on how to use it . Back then they were the price of a new car. A lot of mechanics back then really did not know or understand how to use them they would hook it up turn it on and just stare at them and act like they knew what was going on. Buy knowing what you saw and understand what it was telling you is what got me a job when i did not have a job . I did not stop at that Chrysler Plymouth dealer for a job i stopped because my brand new 68 Road Runner was flooding out and i was miles from home and miles away from where i bought it and the fact i was dressed for a date . I was standing the doorway near wher one mechanic was having and issue with a car not running right and he had the 1020 hooked up and i could see the problem on the scope where he had no idea . Being the mouse in the corner i made a comment on the problem and they tired my fix and it worked the service manager looked at me and said how did you know i said well i have that scope at the house and also the same dist strobe and i have been thru the schools and he said ya want a job , i'll start ya off at 3.50 and hour and back then that was .25 cents under top wages as Flat rate was 7.50 and hour on customer pay and warranty work was 6 bucks and hour we got HALF.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems.
